An Integrated Software Application for the Ancient Coptic Language

Abstract

Coptic language was an important period of the Egyptian language, coinciding with a period of social and cultural changes. Coptic is also associated with the Greek language, as its alphabet is used for the transcription of Coptic. Despite the fact that the Coptic element is strong in Greece, the theoretical background is rather weak. For this reason, it is considered necessary to create a software tool that aims to help in the translation of Coptic into Greek and at the same time to overcome various obstacles that the researcher may encounter while processing the various corpora or artifacts, such as processing issuer, diacritics etc. This tool consists of a database, a search engine and an interface.
