I love Coptic
Does coptic have the semitic ayin
No
Coptic comes from Demotic
with some Greek influence
Its cool
I dont like the lebanese language
It sounds gross
I mean some villages still speak it, and it was mostly spoken till the 17th century, so it's easily revived
It's literally the ancient Egyptian language with some Greek influence, that's it
it's mostly the writing system too
not the actual language
And tbh i think a lot of people speak french over there
however there's some loanwords
If its ancient egyptian is it a semitic language
No
Ancient Egyptian, whether it be Middle Egyptian or Demotic
is Afro-Asiatic
You know we used to speak a dialect of canaanite
Which was intelligible to hebrew
If you speak Coptic, you can kind of understand Greek.
vice versa
Nowadays its like arabic/aramaic mix
Im mad cuz you cant revive the old phoenician
Its gone
Which doesnt make sense
Coptic I think can easily be revived since the Preists speak it,
Cuz we invented the alphabet
and some people still do.
I mean
Not really
Yeah i know
The Sumerians had their own alphabet
and so did we
But we invented the alphabet everyone uses
oh
well yeah
I meant more so though
other writing systems were used
but yeah
