ILoveLanguages! | AFRO-ASIATIC: AKKADIAN & COPTIC @ilovelanguages0124 | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
COPTIC is a continuum of closely related dialects and the native language of Egypt, representing the most recent developments of the Egyptian language and historically spoken by all Egyptians. Bohairic is the dialect of the Nile Delta, gained prominence in the 9th century and is used as the liturgical language of the Coptic churches today.
Akkadian is an extinct East Semitic language once spoken in ancient Mesopotamia, including regions like Akkad, Assyria, and Babylonia. It was used from the third millennium BC until the 8th century BC when Old Aramaic gradually replaced it. Named after the city of Akkad, Akkadian is the earliest documented Semitic language and was written using the cuneiform script, which was initially for Sumerian but later adapted for other regional languages. The close contact and prestige of Sumerian significantly influenced Akkadian's phonology, vocabulary, and syntax, leading scholars to describe their relationship as a Sprachbund.
