Coptic Lessons Index

Welcome to my new series for Patrons: introductory Coptic lessons! As I begin to learn Coptic, I want to share what I'm studying. Eventually, more polished videos that teach Coptic (Comprehensible Coptic) and Middle Egyptian (Ancient Egyptian in Action) will be published on ScorpioMartianus. But until that uncertain date, I want to give my Patrons the chance to start learning!

Topics covered in Lesson 2:

• Review of Greetings 

• Review of Pronunciation of Vowels 

• Diphthongs 

• Review of Pronuciation of Consonants 

• Pronunciation of Jinkim 

• Imperative of “to come”

Teaching others is indeed often the best way to learn oneself. If it's not too confusing, going forward it would be nice if you could share the Middle Egyptian version of some of the primary words to give listeners the opportunity to see these patterns from the start.

That’s a fabulous suggestion. Once I learn Middle Egyptian I absolutely will hehe. Actually Stefano has been doing that amply on his channel. I can find etymologies for many on Wiktionary, but I’d like to be able to reproduce the Classical Egyptian vowels correctly. And for that, I need to know Coptic! 🐍

Just to cite one example, the common Semitic gender marker -t for feminine at the ends of words often seems to have been dropped as time passed. Perhaps this is because they lost importance along with the creation of articles as can be observed in many European languages? In Europe, typically the articles were able to take over the function of marking case and gender, thus removing the need for the endings.

Luke Amadeus Ranieri

Yes that’s a good example. I know that many of the prefixes used to be suffixes in the older forms of that language, like Middle Egyptian

It's good to double-check the Wiktionary entries sometimes, they're not always accurate. I recommend J. Černy's "Coptic Etymological Dictionary" (mostly Sahidic), or if you speak French, Werner Vycichl's "Dictionnaire Étymologique de la Langue Copte," which covers all dialects and is a lot more comprehensive.

It is easy to see how easy this would be to learn by Greek speakers. I don't find it difficult to recite the words and like you said after seeing the letters a few times isn't that hard to read.
