Greek
Not necessarily dead but people think it's irrelevant/outdated
I don't think it is?
and yeah
Along with Latin
Latin makes sense though
More than Greek
@【IVSTINIANVS】 OK, listened to it. I recognised "Agio", but not much of other words sadly.
I imagine it's another word coming from Agios of Greek origin.
I'm taking French and I plan on taking Latin next
Then eventually Greek
Thanks for sharing, really beautiful thing.
There's also "Basil" which comes from Bassileius I think
Lord/King
I think Latin will help me get situated with Greek
Latin was pretty heavily influenced by Greek.
But the Greek said he understood most of it.
Even terms like Colosseum or Basilica.
Are of Greek origin.
If I can master Coptic, I will have no problem with Greek.
French would be my transition point from English to Latin
And Latin would be a transition point to Greek
I'm taking French currently
Always wondered how would be Angel in Latin, if they haven't copied the Greek term lol.
Also,
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
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.
I guess that's similar with English
English loaned a lot of words from French
Because of the ~~normies~~ Normans
Similiar to Quebecois
Has a lot of English loan words in it
Anglo Saxons are similar 4chan users
