Az-Zainiya (Arabic: الزينيه, Coptic: ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ pi-Solsel "the adornment") is a name given to two villages in the Luxor Governorate, Egypt – az-Zainiya Bahari (Arabic: الزينيه بحري, Coptic: ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⲡⲉⲙϩⲓⲧ pi-Solsel Pemhit) and az-Zainiya Qibli (Arabic: الزينيه قبلي, Coptic: ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⲫⲣⲏⲥ pi-Solsel Phres). The two villages were one of the last places where a colloquial Coptic language was spoken.[1]
