'Ⲧⲉⲟⲓ ⲛ̀ϩⲓⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ' — Coptic (Egyptian) orthodox song

Coptic (Bohairic Coptic: ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ, timetremənkhēmi) is a language family of closely related dialects descended from the Ancient Egyptian language and historically spoken by the Copts of Egypt, starting from the third-century AD in Roman Egypt. Coptic was supplanted by Arabic as the primary spoken language of Egypt following the Muslim conquest of Egypt and was slowly replaced over the centuries. Coptic has no native speakers today, although it remains in daily use as the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church and of the Coptic Catholic Church. Innovations in grammar, phonology, and the influx of Greek loanwords distinguish Coptic from earlier periods of the Egyptian language. It is written with the Coptic alphabet, a modified form of the Greek alphabet with several additional letters borrowed from the Demotic Egyptian script.

The Copts are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians who live in modern Egypt. Unfortunately, they use their language only in church. It is possible that some Copts still speak this language as their first language, but do not speak it out of fear of the Muslims. Тhe Coptic language is a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language.

I am Greek and I can understand some bits of the song without looking to the translation, the influence of Greek in coptic is pretty prevalent

[瑞士糖]

In any case, Coptic preserved more of the ancient Egyptian culture. I hope that Egypt will change the name of "Coptic" to "Egyptian" and make Coptic the official language of Egypt. The culture of ancient Egypt should be carried forward.

As an Egyptian I'm still learning coptic and when I heard this song actually the sound of the coptic is really similar to the Egyptian arabic today like the sounds of the letters are light on the tounge exactly like the Egyptian arabic today

It's so amazing to see that despite its age, the language of Ancient Egypt has managed to survive until today, evolving with time but never fading out of existence, even if only spoken in church.

Greetings to Copts from Albania, the country of Muhammed Ali Pasha! He was one of the initiators who supported Copts after suffering a lot for 1200 years under Arab, Abbasid, Ottoman invasions 🇦🇱❤️🇪🇬

God is great. Beautiful and powerful music too.

In a extremely based, and distant reality, Egypt has this flag and this song as the official anthem.

Romanized lyrics:

Teoi әnhikanos, èhote nēethowab tēru,
Ethretōbh èdōn, ṑ thēethmeh әnәhmot.
Tecosi èmašō, èhote nipatriarkhēs,
Owoh ettaiēout: èhote niəprophētēs.
Owon te jinmoši, xen uparrēsia,
Èhote Nikheruvim, nem Niseraiphim.
Әntho gar àlēthōs, pe əpšušu mpengenos,
Owoh tiəprostatēs, әnte nenpsykhē.
Ariәpresvewin èdōn, nahren Pensōtēr,
Hopōs әnteftadron, xen pinahti etsutōn.
Әnteferәhmot nan әmpikhō èvol әnte nenovi,
Әntenšašni ewnai, hiten neәpresbia
