  • If you read Joshua Fishman's Reversing Language Shift, you will see that there are literally thousands of factors to consider in reversing language shift. He has an 8-step model. Researching many, many failed attempts at reversed language shift mov…

  • No inconsistencies within OB. If there are list them. OB is the authentic pronunciation of the Bohairic dialect because it is backed with research and evidence.
  • [quote author=user157 link=topic=12817.msg150668#msg150668 date=1326860418] Same reason I wonder why miracles have stopped imikhail [/quote] They did not. They only stopped for you .. again your claim.

  • The priest cannot pray the liturgy unless there is at least a Psaltos present, though there may be 100 ladies present. In this instance the Psaltos is acting as a full deacon. So, ladies cannot lead.

  • Protestantism is a heresy .. heresies are lies .. Satan is the inventor of lies .. the Church will overcome the gates of hell.
  • It was the basis of my argument and it is still valid. After all this debate, I have no idea what is your argument. :) This shows how convoluted things can get when two extremes collide.
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12781.msg150530#msg150530 date=1326740477] Because we have been rehashing the same arguments and since most people have no real interest in linguistics, I am done debating. I fear my debates on the Coptic language a…

  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12781.msg150518#msg150518 date=1326735152] I asked for "I tasted" which is the first person singular past tense. In Egyptian Arabic, it is /do't/.  I didn't ask for the male and female 3rd personal singular present …
  • Thank you Mina. I did put "I tasted" in parantheses in Reply #39. So I was looking for /do't/ all along. Which substantiates my claim that Modern Standard Arabic pronounces "I tasted" as /za 'kat/ while Cairene Arabic pronounces it /do't/; which in …
