Book Review
A New Coptic Grammar
2002
Overview
Bentley Layton's recent book is a full-scale reference grammar of the Coptic language in its most diversely preserved and most studied dialect, Sahidic. In its Coptic stage, Egyptian is no longer written with hieroglyphic signs, but rather with Greek letters supplemented by a small number of characters derived from hieroglyphic writing and used in Sahidic mainly to denote the consonant sounds here transcribed as (like sh in shoe), f, h, c (originally probably roughly ky, later probably more like ch in chose) and c (also like ch in chose, but in modern classroom pronunciation like j in jaw).
