Dear Reminikimi,
How can you say that when people are not aware of these rul…
I have heard that that Albair Mikhail, along with Anba Mattaos, Anba Demetroius, and Abouna Mettias Nasr are advocating a new revision of the Coptic letters are rerecording the hymns to fit this new way. Is this true?

It is clear that the if we read the the Coptic months the way they are written in Saiidic using OB, they would match exactly the way they are pronounced today.

You'll have to be a little more specific. Are you saying that Upper Egyptians pronounce Old Bohairic differently than the OB Fr Shenouda and the Cairenes pronounce it? Are you saying that GB is different in upper Egypt and Cairo?
No that is not what…
