I think I remember seeing modern Coptic singing once, it's majorly religious.

The pronounciation is on point too.

2018-11-16 23:56:51 UTC  

O Kirios really sounds a lot like Greek.

2018-11-16 23:57:01 UTC  

How do oyu know it's Bohairic, because it's religious use?

You listening to it?

and well yeah

Boharic is more common

and to my knowledge has more Greek influence

2018-11-16 23:57:24 UTC  

It's funny since Coptic and Greek come from two different language families

^

Coptic comes from Demotic

2018-11-16 23:57:35 UTC  

Yes.

I doubt a Greek could understand Demotic

2018-11-16 23:58:02 UTC  

I thought Copt comes from Afro-Asiatic

2018-11-16 23:58:10 UTC  

Greek comes from Indo-European

Demotic is also Afro-Asiatic

2018-11-16 23:58:14 UTC  

Yes they consider themselves Hamitic.

2018-11-16 23:58:18 UTC  

Or at least Jon.

2018-11-16 23:58:20 UTC  

Copts?

2018-11-16 23:58:23 UTC  

No he doesn't

2018-11-16 23:58:26 UTC  

No?

2018-11-16 23:58:26 UTC  

He doesn't know what he is

Ok, let me be more clear

2018-11-16 23:58:35 UTC  

He thinks he's something different entirely

I THINK

We'd be classified as Hamites

but the thing is, Lower Egyptian Copts and Upper Egyptian Copts are slightly different,

but yeah, i'd consider us to be Hamatic

also, as for Coptic. It's an Afro-Asiatic language.

It comes from Demotic, which comes from Middle Egyptian

2018-11-16 23:59:53 UTC  

I want to learn ancient Greek

2018-11-16 23:59:54 UTC  

tbh

2018-11-17 00:00:08 UTC  

I hate how Japhetic and Hamitic felt out of use of linguistics, but Semitic is still kept.

2018-11-17 00:00:11 UTC  

Btw why is Greek considered a dead language?

It isn't?

Who considers Greek to be a dead language?

2018-11-17 00:00:38 UTC  

the Ptolemaics

2018-11-17 00:00:41 UTC  

I think he meant Coptic.

2018-11-17 00:00:43 UTC  

Also lmao.

2018-11-17 00:00:48 UTC  

those were pretty much Greek to Egyptian

Ptolomeys were a Greek dynasty, yes
