What are the Egyptian Coptic Church's relations with Roman Catholic Church?
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.

What is coptic language?
Coptic is the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language, which was used in Egypt from around the 3rd century AD until the 17th century. It is primarily known for being the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria and is still used today in religious rituals. Coptic is written using the Coptic alphabet, which is based on the Greek alphabet with additional signs for Egyptian sounds.
How many eastern Catholic rites are there?
I have encountered the following 7. Others may well exist (in fact they probably do...) The Armenian Catholic Church [mostly made up of ethnic Armenians outside of Armenia, particularly in Syria/Lebanon etc] The Ukrainian Catholic Church (sometimes called Ukrainian Greek Catholic) [big in the Ukraine, particularly the Western Ukraine. Present in other countries too] The Syriac Catholic Church [big in Syria, present in Palestine/Jordan/Lebanon too] The Greek Catholic Church [Very big in the Middle East in general. The Greek Catholic Patriarch of Antioch was one of the senior churchmen who offered prayers over the coffin of Pope John Paul II at his funeral. I think this is the largest group of Catholics in the Arab world] The Maronite Catholic Church [Mostly originating in Lebanon, with significant communities in Syria, Cyprus, and overseas. They arose out of the Monothelite doctrine in the 400s AD, but later joined with Rome.] The Nestorian Catholic Church (also called Chaldean, or the Church of the East) [Big in Iraq, Pope John Paul II called this church 'the Martyrs' Church', because they've survived through such problems over their history] The Coptic Catholic Church [I understand this church to be really small. Indigenous to Egypt, there are quite a lot of Coptic Orthodox, but very few Coptic Catholics.]
