Greek

2018-11-17 00:03:46 UTC  

Not necessarily dead but people think it's irrelevant/outdated

I don't think it is?

and yeah

2018-11-17 00:03:54 UTC  

Along with Latin

2018-11-17 00:04:01 UTC  

Latin makes sense though

2018-11-17 00:04:05 UTC  

More than Greek

2018-11-17 00:04:15 UTC  

@【IVSTINIANVS】 OK, listened to it. I recognised "Agio", but not much of other words sadly.

2018-11-17 00:04:23 UTC  

I imagine it's another word coming from Agios of Greek origin.

2018-11-17 00:04:29 UTC  

I'm taking French and I plan on taking Latin next

2018-11-17 00:04:37 UTC  

Then eventually Greek

2018-11-17 00:04:45 UTC  

Thanks for sharing, really beautiful thing.

There's also "Basil" which comes from Bassileius I think

Lord/King

2018-11-17 00:05:00 UTC  

I think Latin will help me get situated with Greek

2018-11-17 00:05:12 UTC  

Latin was pretty heavily influenced by Greek.

But the Greek said he understood most of it.

2018-11-17 00:05:18 UTC  

Even terms like Colosseum or Basilica.

2018-11-17 00:05:21 UTC  

Are of Greek origin.

If I can master Coptic, I will have no problem with Greek.

2018-11-17 00:05:34 UTC  

Strange, as for example Roman gods are not copied and have new names.

2018-11-17 00:05:37 UTC  

French would be my transition point from English to Latin

2018-11-17 00:05:45 UTC  

And Latin would be a transition point to Greek

2018-11-17 00:05:53 UTC  

I'm taking French currently

2018-11-17 00:06:08 UTC  

Always wondered how would be Angel in Latin, if they haven't copied the Greek term lol.

Also,

2018-11-17 00:06:44 UTC  

Copt being close to Greek despite being in different language families is similar to how English is close to French despite being in two different (sub) language families

Unrelated

I got more Middle Egyptian busts and statues, and compared them to portraits from the Fayum

Clearly people of the same stock.

Like French is so similar to English despite French being a romance language and English being Germanic

The thing is,

Coptic has some loan words, but the language itself is different.

Again, it comes from Demotic.

I get what you mean though.

2018-11-17 00:08:17 UTC  

I guess that's similar with English

2018-11-17 00:08:27 UTC  

English loaned a lot of words from French

2018-11-17 00:08:35 UTC  

Because of the ~~normies~~ Normans

Similiar to Quebecois

Has a lot of English loan words in it

2018-11-17 00:08:52 UTC  

Anglo Saxons are similar 4chan users
