Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Coptic language.

Coptic is a continuum of closely related dialects and the native language of Egypt, representing the most recent developments of the Egyptian language and historically spoken by all Egyptians, starting from the third century AD in Roman Egypt. Innovations in grammar, phonology, distinguish Coptic from earlier periods of the Egyptian language. It is written with the Coptic alphabet, a modified form of the Greek alphabet with some additional letters borrowed from the Demotic Egyptian script. The Greek alphabet is ultimately rooted in Egyptian hieroglyphs. The major Coptic dialects are Sahidic, Bohairic, Akhmimic, Fayyumic, Lycopolitan, and Oxyrhynchite. Unfortunately, following the Arab invasion of the 7th century, only two of the dialects survived. Sahidic Coptic was spoken between the cities of Asyut and Oxyrhynchus and flourished as a literary language across Egypt in the period c. 325 – c. 800 AD. Bohairic, the dialect of the Nile Delta, gained prominence in the 9th century and is the dialect used as the liturgical language of the Coptic churches today. Despite being closely related, Coptic dialects differ from one another in terms of their phonology, morphology, and vocabulary.
