| ## About Coptic Braille: |
| # |
| # Coptic is the final language in the indigenous Egyptian language |
| # family and was spoken and written as a living language in Upper |
| # Egypt from around 300 CE to 1000 CE. Unlike prior Egyptian |
| # languages, Coptic was written using an alphabet. The Coptic |
| # alphabet includes versions of each letter from the Greek |
| # alphabet plus eight additional letters derived from Demotic |
| # script. |
| # |
| # Today, Coptic is used for the study of ancient manuscripts |
| # as well as for the liturgy of the Coptic church. This table |
| # is intended primarily for ancient Coptic. It is based on a system |
| # developed by Daniel C. Smith, Sarah Blake LaRose, |
| # Matthew Yeater, and Ray McAllister. |
| # Documentation of this code can be found in the .brf transcription of |
| # Layton, Bentley. Coptic in 20 Lessons: An Introduction to Sahidic |
| # Coptic with Vocabularies and Lessons. Leuven: Peeters. 2007. |
