Akhmīmic

Akhmimic is an Upper Egyptian dialect of Coptic, which is the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language. Coptic was written using the Greek alphabet, with some additions from demotic script, and incorporated Greek loanwords.12

Coptic is typically categorized into six dialects, with four spoken in Upper Egypt and two in Lower Egypt. Akhmimic was spoken in and around the Upper Egyptian city of Akhmim. Subakhmimic is another dialect from Upper Egypt, considered to be between Sahidic and Akhmimic. These dialects primarily differed in their sound systems.23
