现代埃及留存的古埃及传统都有哪些？ 第1页

埃及阿拉伯语方言有显著的科普特语底层。

Egyptian Arabic appears to have retained a significant Coptic substratum in its lexicon, phonology, and syntax. Coptic is the latest stage of the indigenous Egyptian language spoken until the mid-17th century when it was finally completely supplanted among Egyptian Muslims and a majority of Copts by the Egyptian Arabic. Some features that Egyptian Arabic shares with the original ancient Egyptian language include certain prefix and suffix verbal conjugations, certain emphatic and glottalized consonants, as well as a large number of biliteral and triliteral lexical correspondences.
A syntactic feature particular[citation needed][dubious – discuss] to Egyptian Arabic arguably inherited from Coptic[41] is:
Wh words (i.e. "who", "when", "why" remain in their "logical" positions in a sentence rather than being preposed, or moved to the front of the sentence, as in Literary Arabic or English).
Examples:
/rˤaːħ masˤrI ʔimta/ ( ) "When (/ʔimta/) did he go to Egypt?" (lit. "He went to Egypt when?")
/rˤaːħ masˤrI leːh/ ( ) "Why (/leːh/) did he go to Egypt? (lit. "He went to Egypt why?")
/miːn rˤaːħ masˤr/ or /miːn illi rˤaːħ masˤr/ ( [ ] ) "Who (/miːn/) went to Egypt/Cairo? (literally – same order)
The same sentences in Literary Arabic (with all the question words (wh-words) in the beginning of the sentence) would be:
/mataː ðahaba ʔilaː misˤr/
/lima ðahaba ʔilaː misˤr/
/man ðahaba ʔilaː misˤr/
Also since Coptic lacked interdental consonants it could possibly have influenced the manifestation of their occurrences in Classical Arabic /θ/ /ð/ /ðˤ/ as their dental counterparts /t/ /d/ and the emphatic dental /dˤ/ respectively. (see consonants)

以上引用自维基百科。埃及阿拉伯语方言的一个重要特征是表何时、何地、何人的Wh词汇会放在句子的末尾，而不是像标准阿拉伯语和英文一样放在句子的开头。这被认为是从科普特语继承而来的。
