* Ancient Egyptian: This is a dead language, spoken in ancient Egypt. While some scholars and enthusiasts may study it, no one speaks it as a native language.
* Modern Egyptian Arabic: This is the language spoken by most Egyptians today. It's a dialect of Arabic, not a separate language. It's closely related to other Arabic dialects, with varying degrees of mutual intelligibility.
* Coptic: This is a language descended from Ancient Egyptian, but it's also considered a dead language. While some communities in Egypt still have some knowledge of Coptic, it's not widely spoken.
Therefore, to answer your question, we need to clarify:
* How many people speak Modern Egyptian Arabic? This is the most relevant figure, and it's estimated to be around 80 million people, primarily in Egypt but also in other countries where Egyptians have migrated.
* How many people can speak Coptic? While difficult to quantify, it's a very small number compared to speakers of Modern Egyptian Arabic.
