This site hosts a suite of products that aims to make Coptic more learnable.

Ⲁ̅. ⲡⲓⲀⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ - Coptic Dictionary

This is a number of digital Coptic dictionaries, accessible at ⲡⲓⲀⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ

1. A Coptic Dictionary, by Walter E. Crum.
2. KELLIA's Coptic Dictionary Online
3. copticsite's Bohairic-Arabic dictionary

Ⲃ̅. Flashcards

1. Download Anki:
   • Android
   • iOS*
   • Desktop
   
   *The iOS version is paid, but it's a worthy investment.
2. Download the Coptic package, and open / import it in Anki.

Flashcards are designed to help you learn Coptic vocabulary through spaced repetition.

The package is updated regularly, so you might want to save the link and download a new version of the package occasionally. Downloading the new version won't reset your learning progress, it will only update the content.

Ⲅ̅. Bible Ebook

You can download a Bohairic-English Bible in Ebook format:

• For desktop
• For e-reader

The Desktop version uses a two-column format (shown in the screenshot), which may be difficult for (some) e-readers to render. So we publish an e-reader version that uses a single column, but you're free to use whichever one you prefer.

Ⲇ̅. Kindle Dictionary

This is a basic Kindle dictionary that can support in-book lookups. Download it at Kindle Dictionary.

It's still in experimentation phase, so use it with two grains of salt.

You will need to sideload the dictionary onto the e-reader device. Connect your Kindle to your computer with a USB cable, and copy the dictionary to the Documents folder. You then need to set the default dictionary to A Coptic Dictionary from settings, or from the reading interface.

Ⲉ̅. Grammar

We encourage you to read Coptic Grammar, by Alexis Mallon.

The project code lives at github.com/pishoyg/coptic.

Our next milestone is to publish the Bible text on the website, with built-in dictionary lookups (currently only available on Kindle).

Our long-term plans include a standalone app, interactive learning curricula, a keyboard layout, and neologisms.
