  • Aegyptian
    Bohairic

    More specifically, Greco-Bohairic
  • coptic_deacon
    Græco-Memphitic which is a modern corruption of actual Memphitic (Bohairic)

    The dialect is Bohairic. The current pronunciation of the church can be traced back to the works of Iryan Moftah (1860's). It was based on a false premise that Coptic and Greek have the same phoentic values, yet, it became the standard in the church
