alih bahasa mesir demotik
dalam tahap perkembangan bahasa mesir, koptik dan demotik cukup lekat dalam tata bahasanya dengan bahasa mesir akhir, yang telah ditulis dalam naskah hieroglif, tetapi sangat berbeda dalam penggambaran grafiknya.
koptik berkembang sebagai bahasa kesusasteraan sejak abad ke-2 sampai abad ke-13 sm, dan dialek bohairik tetap menjadi bahasa liturgi gereja ortodoks koptik alexandria.
bahasa koptik digantikan oleh bahasa arab mesir sebagai bahasa sehari-hari sampai sekarang, walaupun beberapa usaha membangkitkan kembali bahasa ini telah berlangsung sejak abad ke-19.
