Interesting. Btw, I plan to start learning Sahidic and Bohairic Coptic soon, and I wonder if learning about them will put me in a good position to learn middle Egyptian?
Overall yes :-). Egyptian II (Late, Demotic, Coptic) is to Egyptian I (Old, Middle, Neo-Middle) like Italian to Latin: a different language, but with a lot of similarities and a large number of words being used throughout the 4,000+ year history of Egyptian. Just don't underestimate how different the grammar of Middle Egyptian and Coptic are ... 2,000+ years don't just go by without change. Oh, and feel free to join our server (in the description) - lots of Coptic enthusiasts and some active reading / study groups.
@@learnhieraticsumerian4208 Interesting. Thanks for the info. I may check out the server once I'm better established with the language. Haven't started it properly yet. Thanks.
I love your way
