Copeh.

American: dialect of U. California, vernacular on the R. Sacramento.

Coptic.

A language supposed to be derived from the ancient Egyptian, but mingled with Archaic Greek; it was spoken in the valley of the Lower Nile until the seventeenth century, but is now extinct. The alphabetical system greatly resembles Greek, with six letters adopted from the hieroglyphics.

⁂ The upper dialect is called the Sahidic or Theban; the middle dialect is the Memphitic, and the language of the Delta the Bashmuric. Greek words abound in all those, but most in the last. Vocaby. by Parthey, Coptic and Latin, L. & C., Berlin, 1844; Grammar by Schwartze, Berlin, 1850.

Cora.

A dialect of Central America, allied to Pima.
