Maryan Coptic is chiefly written in a modified Coptic alphabet, which in return is a modified [[w:Greek_alphabet|Greek alphabet]] augmented by [[w:Demotic_(Egyptian)|Demotic]]-based glyphs. The script contains 32 pairs of glyphs (each pair containing one majuscule and one minuscule form) and 3 individual minuscule glyphs, adding up to 67 total glyphs. 48 of these glyphs originate from the Greek alphabet, while the remaining 19 originate as augmentations from the Demotic script. | |||
In the earliest drafts dating back to March 2018, Maryan Coptic initially used a modified Latin alphabet, until a secondary script utilizing Coptic glyphs was introduced a month later in April. By July of the same year, the Latin script ceased all future and current usage, as all remaining texts which still used the Latin script were replaced with the more polished Coptic script. | |||
