Despite the fact that the language can be written in Egyptian hieroglyphs and demotic script, the Greek alphabet has greatly modified the Coptic alphabet. The language became the official language of the country from 200 AD to 1100 AD, and was last spoken in the 17th century AD. The language was able to survive during the Renaissance thanks to what European scholars learned from his native speakers, and is now only used as a liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
