ⲟⲩⲁϫⲁⲓ! Hello good people. I am the one reading the Coptic text in the video. Your beautiful comments warm my little Egyptophile heart. I absolutely enjoyed working on this. I want you all to know that the Coptic language is much much richer than what you see in the video. It is a beautiful language with thousands of years' worth of heritage, immensely valuable for many reasons. If you ever thought to learn this noble tongue and have been unsure if you should, I invite you to. Learn it and speak it! Losing this language would be such an astronomical loss to Humanity and if that happens, the sky itself shall weep sorrowful tears. But we can choose to give Coptic the life it deserves and have fun while doing it. On that note, I am going to start providing Coptic media and learning resources soon. Thank you all and thank you Andy for giving me this opportunity. ☀♥
I am also an Egyptian Muslim, and I loved the Coptic language, and I always wanted to hear the Saidi dialect, and finally I heard it in this video, and it is a very beautiful dialect that must be preserved, along with the Behairi dialect.
Hello. I am Francisco from Brazil and I am learning Coptic for a noble reason: I don't want it to die. I really want it to survive. Suddenly something touched my heart to learn it and I am happy to learn it. Some day I want to visit the Coptic Church in Egypt.
I love everything about Egypt, its native language Coptic (which I'd love to learn btw), I love their Arabic dialect, their songs, their humor, their contribution to science, literature, art, their cinema, their movies and ofc I love them as People ❤️ so much love from Syria 🇸🇾🇪🇬
I wonder if there is enough surviving vocabulary to revive it. Hebrew has been revived successfully. Other languages like Prussian have been revived somewhat successfully. There are people out there who have become fluent speakers of Latin and others have done the same thing for Sanskrit. Why not Coptic?
@@Hun_Uinaq i dont think hebrew has been revived successful. They have changed many sound like that of ח from h to kh and ע from similar to ع of arabic to simple A sound and a few more words.
The Coptic element was never lost in Egypt, it just lost domination to Islam and Arabic. Even Copts in Egypt routinely speak Arabic as their vernacular today.
Love that reading of the Bible at the end. It’s incredible but, I was able to figure out what part of the Bible and what story it was telling. The names pop out at you. Joseph, Mary, Gabriel, Elizabeth…… It’s easy to forget in these modern times that Egypt was once majority Christian. Kudos to the volunteer who provided the sample of this language. He is a good reader and he really brought it to life. It has a beautiful sound. Very strong sounding without coming across a harsh upon the ears. It has a certain majesty to it.
Egypt remained Christian until the 12th Century as a matter of fact. Another fact, these figures are beloved in Islam aswell! But not Joseph the Carpenter, in which there is no view of him

The best way to get this language to be revived is through the promotion of the Coptic Church of Egypt, the primary speakers of this language & encourage conversion from Islam to Coptic Christianity; this could involve flipping Koranic verses over their head to symbolise how actually more Christian they are in nature as a whole. ☦️✊🏼🇪🇬
@@coolranch-ez4tu Old arabic which consisted of Nabatean, Safaitic, and Hismaic contained the “P” sound. A consonantal shift occurred post Islamic expansion during the standardization of the Arabic language where the “p” sound was shifted to an “f” sound.
That was interesting , I am Egyptian and was always interested in languages though I think Egyptian Arabic dialect has much more similarities with Coptic ,specially with Grammar ..For example ; using the double negative is not an Arabic grammatical rule ما تروحش instead of لا تروح او ما تروح in Levantine dialect I am from Sharqia governrate in Egypt and we use the Arabic rule of negation مش تروح it even became exclusive to us 😸also the word noub which means gold is used specially in rural places to mean a ration of food ...Any Egyptians here ?
Coptic didn't disappear after the 7th century. The Arab state builders didn't care about what local were doing or language they were speaking and didn't force anyone to change their language. What the later Fatimid shites did after taking over egypt ans syria in the 10th century was the exception, That's why most Muslim countries are not Arabic and their language are preserved to this day because of Arabs.. Unfortunately we can't say the same about the native americans, australians, candians, and many African nations where the white plague has spread.
It's so pretty to hear it spoken rather than chanted

Currently learning Coptic and it's an amazing experience so far

Are you Egyptian or foreignar?
Did you pronounce boharic dialect too in other videos?
Because you did inaccurately
Coptic is such a fascinating language!

There's a great book by Lamdin called Introduction to Saidic Coptic that I highly recommend
@@NoverMaC thanks for the recommendation!
This language needs to be promoted in the Modern Egypt
Especially the Coptic Christian Church who speak it the most out of Egypt's population! 🇪🇬☦️
No need to spread Modified Greek language.
@@salahahmad7714 You sound like someone who knows neither Coptic nor Greek.
@@salahahmad7714 The original egptian language more original than Arabic
Because Coptic is Christian, Copts also use Arabic.
What a beautiful sounding language, and so fluently read.
As an Egyptian thats beautiful
Please video about Demotic Egyptian language: the antecedent of Coptic.
This sounds lovely. It has a very readable romanisation too. Shame it is not spoken natively anymore.

I studied this language and I cannot wait until it is revived!
Sahidic is my favourite dialect of Coptic.
Akhmimic
Much support to my Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt!
Kemetism >>>>>> Coptic Christianity
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz And yet, somehow they abandoned their pagan beliefs to embrace Christianity.
Thanks brother
@@ElHeraldoHispano It's because the Roman devils forced them too and the Copts have no choice but to bend their backs for them.
@@MrAllmightyCornholiozcringe LARPer
Let's revive the original culture of Egypt 🇪🇬, We don't want Arabic Colonialism 🔥✊
Good luck with that lmao
@@AhnafMardia Egypt will be free from Arabia
Then Greek and roman colonialism
That's not what colonialism means
@@NoverMaC This is purely colonialism but even worse forcefully imposing beliefs,language and culture and kill others
Informative as always.
Excellent! Thank you very much for this video!
Pretty good. I learned to read this language.
What a pretty sounding language.
MAKE EGYPT COPTIC AGAIN!

Thanks a lot Andy for this lovely video. I'm Egyptian/Coptic Muslim i learn Coptic in Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt and I'm reviving it❤❤❤❤
Are you Muslim revert?

Coptic should be restored as the national language of Egypt.
No.
@@nomylearnspalestine I completely agree
Alhamdulilah for Arabic.
Those sentences sounded beautiful oh my. Also, Piero being the name of the nile was something i feel like I've should've learned sooner
If you can provide books or video resource for coptic that would help viewers but great video.

Real language of Egypt - Arab is just colonial language. Everybody talking about Western colonial but no one say a single word about Arab colonialism
Well egyptian arabic does have some gramatical and lexical influince from it so coptic is in a way not completly dead
Isn't coptic also a form of previous colonialism to a even earlier "realer" egiptian language?
No, el copto evolucióno del egipcio antiguo.@@Nach956

@@SirBoggins yeah its not like we belive that jesus was one of the most importent prophets, we just belive he never died
The dialect I'm learning! Very fun so far and very different from languages i know (Mandarin, English and Spanish). Hope i can be fluent one day
Coptic actually created in Sahid before reaching Delta.
I know they're unrelated, but can you make Iraqi Arabic and Persian?

Finally a dialect that doesn't sound ugly because of Greek pronunciation
But how is this language related to berber languages?
Amazigh vs coptic please
Next do Sa’idi Arabic please
I'm akhmimic-shahidic ❤
Is this mutually intelligible with the Coptic language?
It is a dalect of the Coptic language.
RA BLESS THIS LANGUAGE
The word for food "hre" sounds similar to the bulgarian word for food "hrana"
Arabic vs Hausa, please!
Caucasus Albanian, please
Egyptians forgot how to pronounce P
Blame Arabic. The sound does not exist in Arabic. This is why they bay for their baber with money out of their own bocket.
@@Hun_Uinaqarabic used to have a “p” sound but it lost it

We need samaritan hebrew
It sound more than slavic/greek than as semitic
Because it isnt a semitic language its in its own branch of afroaseatic
It sounds like EGYPTIAN
I can understand greek, but slavic? Where and how
@@budycabra6668 Egyptian was historically very palatalized, maybe they're picking up on that?
Thats because its not a semitic language.
Arabic >> Copetic
It's not a competition
Albanian = ottoman ‘abīd
Coptic all the way 🩵
Egypt = Arabic , English = Germanic
Copts are our mother we Arabs, and Babylonians are our fathers.
I agree with that , in fact all the similarities between MSArabic like بين between زم to wrap come from Coptic and ancient Egyptian words w
