Coptic Egyptian is the latest stage of the Egyptian language, an Afroasiatic language spoken in Egypt until at least the 17th century. Egyptian began to be written in Coptic alphabet, an adaptation of Greek with the addition of 6 or 7 signs from Demotic to represent Egyptian sounds the Greek language didn’t have, in the 1st century AD. Several Coptic dialects are identified, most prominent being Sahidic, originating in parts of Upper Egypt, and Bohairic, originally from the western Nile Delta in Lower Egypt. Coptic and Demotic are grammatically closely related to Late Egyptian, which was written with hieroglyphs. Coptic flourished as a literary language from the 2nd-13th centuries. Bohairic dialect continues to be the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. It was supplanted by Egyptian Arabic as a spoken language toward the early modern period, but language revitalization efforts have been underway since the 19th century.
