Even now there are still Coptic speaking Egiptians, they are a minority of Coptic Christians, but back in the 14th century we can assume that the areas with few Arabs were, most likely, mostly Coptic speaking.

15:05 As an Egyptian, I have to voice my discontent about how they decided to split the Egyptian culture. If they're going to make two cultures for Egypt, then it should be Bahari and Sa'idi, not Egyptian and Sa'idi because this format suggests that Sa'idis are not Egyptians, which is false. In Arabic, Sa'idis are the inhabitants of Al-Sa'id. They are Egyptians through and through.

[@jm67544t]

Sounds like Egyptian should be the overall culture with these two as sub groups. How about what Ludi mentioned, how does it look in Egyptian society today with some Coptic minority, how do they interact with the rest of society? Are they a protected group like the Sami in the Nordics or do they have a more significant/integral place in society?

6:47 after the Bahri* The Burji were the Circassians that came later on with the rise of Sultan Barquq. But you're absolutely right, the Mamluks did not refer to their state as "دولة المماليك" (state of the mamluks). For the Bahri Mamluks, nomenclature followed along the lines of دولة التُرك and for the Circassian Mamluks دولة الجراكسة Just a minor correction if people got confused in that section. I love these videos that cover the historical background to sort put things into context. Great video :)
