Shlama to all,
I found a rich resource for comparison studies. George William Horner has translated both dialects of the ancient Coptic New Testament into English and has a large critical apparatus in the footnotes with phrases often translated into English as well. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.archive.org">www.archive.org</a><!-- w --> seems to have more of the southern dialect volumes than Google Books.
Texts compared in the footnotes are Syriac, Ethiopic, various Greek such as Aleph and several others, Vulgate, etc., etc., These volumes are among the most user-friendly I've found for people like me that don't have extensive training in Biblical languages.
