Maryan Coptic ({{cop|ⲧⲉⲙⲩⲧⲭⲏⲙⲉ}}, <small>tr.</small> ''temutkʰēme''), often shortened to 'Maryan', is an [[w:Constructed_language#A_posteriori_language|a posteriori]] language created by conlanger [[User:Castillerian|Castillerian]]. The initial intent of this language was to envision a modern register of Classical [[w:Coptic language|Coptic]] while preserving its core grammar, vocabulary, and estimated phonology.

The first drafts of what would become the Maryan Coptic language were created in March 2018, initially titled 'New Coptic' and 'Neo-Egyptian'.These early drafts detailed a modified Latin alphabet as the language's primary writing system, and its phonology more atone with the Greco-Bohairic pronunciation found in modern uses of Coptic. Discontent with the language's current state, the creator redrafted the language's entire phonology and grammar in May 2019, along with its entire lexicon.

The native name of Maryan is {{cop|ⲧⲉⲙⲩⲧⲭⲏⲙⲉ}} (''temutkʰēme''), thus meaning "the speech of Egypt". The native name for Egypt, {{cop|Ⲭⲏⲙⲉ}} (''Kʰēme''), stems from Egyptian ''[[wikt:kmt|kmt]]'' <small>ME.</small> {{IPA|/ˈkuːmaʔ/}} ("Egypt, the Nile valley"), which itself stems from ''[[wikt:km|km]]'' <small>ME.</small> {{IPA|/ˈkuːmaw/}} ("black"), in reference to the fertile soil around the Nile Delta.
