The History of the Coptic Language. I. Definition. The Coptic Language is the name used to refer to the last stage of the written Egyptian language. Coptic should more correctly be used to refer to the script rather than the language itself. Even though this script was introduced as far back as the 2nd century BC., it is usually applied to the writing of the Egyptian language from the first century AD. to the present day.
One of these special symbols is called a cartouche and is used to set apart a word or phrase that is someone's name from other text. Coptic was (one of-Ed) the ancient languages of Egypt that was written using hieroglyphs. Strictly speaking, Hieroglyphs are the actual symbols the ancient Egyptians used. Hieroglyphic is the adjective used to describe the system of writing with hieroglyphs. Most hieroglyphs represent alphabetic sounds such as 'd' or 'p', 'a', 'b' etc. However, there are others and they are called determinatives because the ancient Egyptian languages tended just to use consonants (like Hebrew).
