Relating to the Nile Delta region in Egypt or the Coptic dialect spoken there in ancient times.
From Coptic Bohairic, derived from Greek Bohairi, relating to the northern Nile Delta. The name comes from the Arabic al-Buhayra, meaning 'the small sea' or 'lakes,' referring to the lagoons of the delta region.
Bohairic is the only Coptic dialect that survives as a living liturgical language today—the Egyptian Coptic Church still uses it in worship after nearly 2,000 years, making it an incredible linguistic time capsule of ancient Egypt.
