| | Coptic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The mediaeval Boharic dialect is, however, presently used as a liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Coptic Catholic Church (along with Arabic and Greek). | | | Coptic continued to be used in the Church with Greek as the second language, as seen from the texts that survived from the period. | | | Coptic continued its growth in the Church and among the Ecclesiastically-educated groups that were produced in the early parts of the 20th century. |

| | FYI: The Languages of Egypt |
| | Coptic is the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. | | | The language itself is related to both the Semitic language family found in the Middle East (consisting of languages like ancient Akkadian, Hebrew, Ethiopic and even Arabic) and has certain similarities with a language family called the Hamitic language spoken by peoples in east Africa. | | | Coptic is the Egyptian language written with Greek letters plus an additional six to eight letters (depending upon the dialect). |

| | Coptic |
| | During that time, the Coptic Church (the official name of the church is The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt) has had a significant impact on the development of Christianity. | | | The Coptic Church is headed by a Pope who, unlike his counterpart in Rome, does not claim papal infallibility. | | | There is very little conflict between basic Coptic teachings and those of other early Christian churches and, indeed, the Coptic Church was quite vigilant in campaigning against Gnosticism. |

| | Although the Coptic language is still used in religious prayers in some churches, with the rise of Islam as a dominant religion after AD 641, Arabic became the most widespread of the languages. | | | It is considered sacred since it is the language through which the Holy Qur'an was revealed. | | | The Coptic script is adopted from the Greek alphabet, even though many of the Greek letters represent sounds that didn't exist in Egyptian. |

| | Bhuz.com - Listening to the Language of the Pharoahs, Jamila Salimpour |
| | Forbidden to speak their language in public, they were allowed to continue to sing their Coptic hymns in church. | | | And so it is today that the Coptic language, the true descendant of the language of ancient Egypt, is still to be heard in the chanting of the Coptic church. | | | And so, the Coptic language, which today is only heard in the religious service of the Coptic church, evolved from the ancient Demotic Egyptian once spoken during the time of the Pharaohs. |

| | It descends from Hieroglyphics; it is the language of the children of the Pharaohs. | | | Also, the hymns and liturgical prayers of the Coptic Orthodox Church have been passed down from generation to generation. | | | Although certainly not extinct, the Coptic language is considered a "dead language." That means it's not spoken fluently by a large group of people or country. |
