Coptic language revival

The Coptic language revival refers to efforts to preserve and promote the use of Coptic, the ancient Egyptian language written in the Coptic script. Once widely spoken by Egyptian Christians, it declined after the Arab conquest, replaced by Arabic. Recent initiatives involve teaching Coptic in churches, academic programs, and cultural events to maintain its liturgical, historical, and cultural significance. The revival aims to reconnect Egyptians with their heritage, support linguistic diversity, and ensure the language's continued relevance in religious practices and cultural identity.
