It is not an assumption matter in these matters - facts deleated by historical
or linguistic research is the thing that matters! Anyway, it does not make me
proud to find that common daily words in Egypt are Coptic in origin!
When can we mature as proud Copts who seek to develop their language and make
it spoken again rather than dwel in rediculous matters like "Oh, do you know
'sham al naseem' is the Coptic 'itshom enaseem'?!"
Stop this juvenile attepmts. It doesn't matter if no trace of Coptic has been
left in the Egyptian daily used words. After all our oppressors have always
wanted to eradicate our language, and we, idiots enough and lacking in
nationalistic fervour, have allowed that. What matters is that we revive our
language as a nationalistic project and not just an entertaining linguistic
excercice.
Peace! Iri passe (though it is Greek)!

Hello every one,
Why do we always assume that we "learned" from the Turks when they invaded
Egypt? Why do not we assume the other way; that they learned from us (cooking,
language, etc..). More research is required to trace the origin of many
traditions and words. Thanks.
