Christianity was the religion of the vast majority of Egyptians from 400ââ¬â800 A.D. and the majority after the Muslim conquest until the mid-10th century[13] and remains the faith of a significant minority population. Historically they spoke the Coptic language, a direct descendant of the Demotic Egyptian spoken in the Roman era, but it has been near-extinct and mostly limited to liturgical use since the 18th century. They now speak Arabic. |
