I find it very important to know which words in our daily spoken language are of coptic origin since it can be a start to talk the language... all those words are of the coptic language vocabulary and we dont need to memorize it cos we already know it and we know how to use it. so why not take the chance... I learned 5 languages through my life and the first step is always to collect as much vocabulary as possible like the children..then people start connecting the words..

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!

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.
