The first drafts of what would become the Maryan Coptic language were created in March 2018, initially called 'New Coptic' and 'Neo-Egyptian'. Early drafts detailed a modified Latin alphabet as the language's primary writing system, and its phonology more atone with modern-day Ecclesiastical Bohairic 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.

Adjectives with a long vowel and ending in ''ei'' (ⲉ) are prone to replacing their long vowel with a short equivalent and a consonant, usually ''ro'' (ⲣ) and sometimes ''tau'' (ⲧ). The exact consonant is largely unpredictable without historical context.
