Nofri ahoo, The Pisenty Rizkalla family & all those who are associated with it, including, Ms.Isy, Hataso, Maurice AbdelMessih, Fr.Pigol Bassili, Abba Demetrios, Nofer, Vert, Rano, Titi, form a pioneer inspiring effort in "Revival" probably the the most famous family known for its effort in the Revival. The family inspired others but, no success has been seen in other families as they have done.
I wonder if any one of the family members can document the work done to revive the language, I mean the technicality was it gradual, sudden any sort of reinforcement done, what maintains the whole thing etc. On the other hand, we need to know the terminology they used for modern tehcnology words like: Refrigirator, TV, radio, air condition, microwave, computer, video, dvd player etc. Bashandy On Thu, 3 May 2007 10:11:27 +1000 "Ross Gerges" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi there, Vert is at least third generation Coptic Language speaker. The whole family speaks Coptic including all uncles & all cousins all over Egypt and the rest of the world. She is the daughter of our beloved Father Pigol & his Wife Hataso. Her dialect maybe Bohairy and not the dialect that the Pharaohs spoke, but hey, she does speak Coptic unlike the millions of Copts who just keep talking about the subject and not attempt to speak in any Dialect. May God bless her family.
