The article claims that there are 3 languages in Egypt today: 1. Egyptian Arabic 2. Sa'idi Arabic 3. Coptic

This is a holy mistake, Egyptians speak only one language with different dialects. It's noteworthy to mention that the Coptic language is regarded as a dead language.--41.238.185.222 (talk) 21:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a Coptic Egyptian Christian. I'd like to assure you that we neither speak Coptic in church or in daily conversations. The Coptic language is already dead, though some Copts try to revive it. But it is still extinct. As for Arabic, I think if you checked out this link, you'd find what you're looking for. --41.235.103.42 (talk) 15:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If 300 people speak Coptic today (and communicate more than a few simple words and phrases), as the article says, that would be similar to a few people in the US deciding to revive ancient Sumerian. Coptic has been extinct for centuries except as a religious language. Eleanor1944 (talk) 04:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The American/Sumerian analogy is not helpful. If you gave an example of a Native American tribe that tried to revive its own extinct language, that would be more relevant to the discussion.Nojamus (talk) 15:53, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
