Editing Coptic language (section)

== Name ==
In Coptic the language is called {{Coptic|[[wiktionary:ⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ|ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ]]}} ({{Transliteration|cop|timetremǹkhēmi}}) "Egyptian" or {{Coptic|[[wiktionary:ⲁⲥⲡⲓ|ϯⲁⲥⲡⲓ]] [[wiktionary:ⲣⲉⲙⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ|ⲛ̀ⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ]]}} ({{Transliteration|cop|tiaspi ǹremǹkhēmi}}) "the Egyptian language". Coptic also possessed the term {{Coptic|{{wikt-lang|egy|ⲅⲩⲡⲧⲓⲟⲥ}}}} ({{Transliteration|cop|gyptios}}) "Egyptian", derived from [[Koine Greek|Greek]] {{wikt-lang|grc|Αἰγύπτιος}} ({{Transliteration|grc|Aigúptios}}). This was borrowed into Arabic as {{wikt-lang|ar|قبْط}} ({{Transliteration|ar|qibṭ/qubṭ}}), and from there into the languages of Europe, giving rise to words like [[French language|French]] {{lang|fr|copte}} and English ''Copt''.
