 | | Coptic's most noticeable impact has been on various dialects of Egyptian colloquial Arabic where an immense amount of Coptic lexicon has been preserved. | | | This policy slowly eroded the number of Coptic lay readers who were mostly from the ranks of these government workers and their families. | | | By the middle of the 7th century, Egypt came under the dominance of Arab rulers that eventually tried to force the Copts to learn Arabic to keep their government jobs. |

| | Egyptian government openly discriminates the Christians of Egypt |
| | The on-going two-day protest is a response to the predominantly Muslim Egyptian government’s sanction of anti-Coptic hate crimes such as arson, torture, murder, and the abduction, rape, and forced conversion of young Coptic women. | | | ` Other crimes protested by the Coptic community include the alarming rise in the kidnapping, rape, and forced conversion of young Coptic women such as 19-year old Manal Gurguis Abd El Malak, whose kidnappers have yet to face justice due to discriminatory police neglect. | | | Although Egypt’s native Christian Copts—numbering between 12-15 million and constituting approximately 15% of Egypt’s population—have long been targets for Muslim extremists, a recent rise in anti-Coptic sentiment has prompted an escalation in violence against Copts. |

| | The transition from Egyptian to Coptic in Egypt may be said to have coincided with the introduction of Christianity. | | | In the 5th century a schism occurred in the Egyptian Christian church, with the branch known as the Monophysites coming to be known as the Coptic Church. | | | Coptic represents the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language, whose familiar hieroglyphic writing dates as far back as 3000 B.C. The word "Copt" is derived from the Greek, and later the Arabic, word for "Egyptian." Coptic is a Hamitic language, constituting one of the branches of the Afro-Asiatic (Hamito-Semitic) family. |

| | Undoubtedly, the Coptic hymn has a Pharaonic origin, as it is so natural that the pharoahs, who were specialized in the Gods’ music with its pharaonic secrets, when they became Christians could not get rid of that music which lived in their being, mixed with their life aspects and was stored in their subconscious mind. | | | It must have been that these hymns with all their hymnal details, were carried by Saint Mark to Egypt, and that he had been repeating them while he was on his way to Egypt, to help him overcome the harshness of that long and weary path in which his shoes were torn. | | | This is a remarkable style of the Coptic hymns which is called the Millisma i.e. |

| | The Coptic alphabet is based on the Greek letter form, but has additional letters for sounds used in the Demotic (ancient Egyptian) not found in the Greek, so Coptic appears to be an off-shoot of the two (Demotic and Greek). | | | Coptic Christianity is synonymous with Alexandria, but several religious debates have created standing rifts among the faithful, and there are two Popes in Alexandria today as a result; Pope Shenouda III is the Coptic Orthodox Pope •Pope Boutros VII is the Greek Orthodox Pope". | | | The Coptic language is the last descendant of the ancient Egyptian language, Demotic. |
