I am an enthusiastic for the Coptic language, although the lack of resources always kept me away. Anyway, google the following "Mona Zaki Coptic Language". You can just follow the following links (just a sample):
http://www.love-egypt.com/coptic-language.htmlhttp://freecopts.net/english/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=440It states that there is an ACTUAL family that still speaks Coptic for their daily communication
Very interesting, right? Actually this is where we can start restoring the original aspects of the language (Provided that this family has kept the language all the way, not just that they learned it in sunday school and then decided to use it)
My question is: Can anyone get the contacts of this woman? Maybe later we can contact her (or anyone in her family willing to help), maybe record her pronunciation of debated words...etc. I bet that there are tons of questions that she can answer.
We can start by this "Joseph Mayton, The Daily Star " (The reporter who did the interview with Mona), maybe he can provide us with here contact after her permission.
The whole thing sounds to be too good to be true for me, but you never know. Maybe that finally we can be over the right track. So tell me, what do you think about this?
