	Modern Greek
		The modern language started taking form about 200-300 years ago when Greece was ruled by the Ottoman Empire.
		Modern Greek was divided into Dhimotiki ("demotic," "of the people", a term similar to "vernacular") and Katharevousa.
		Dhimotiki was the language of daily use, and the latter was an archaic form, used for official documents, literature, newscasting and other formal purposes.

		In later years, Katharevousa was used only for official and formal purposes (such as politics, letters, official documents, and newscasting) while Dhimotiki, (δημοτική) 'demotic' or popular Greek, was the daily language.
		However, in 1976 Dhimotiki was made the official language and by the end of the 20th century Katharevousa had become obsolete.
		However, many words from Katharevousa have entered Dhimotiki during the two centuries of its existence, so that the project has left a very noticeable trace in the modern Greek language.

		Koine had been spoken in several different forms in the region of Greece and the Greek speaking world during the entire Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods, until the end of the middle ages when it took the shape of Demotic.
		After Greece gained independence from the Ottoman Empire, the official Greek languages were Dhimotiki ("popular", a term similar to "vernacular") and Katharevousa ("purified").
		Dhimotiki was the language of daily use, and the latter was an archaic form (closer to Attic), used for official documents, literature, newscasting and other formal purposes.

		Katharevousa is a form of neo-Classical Greek that was "used until 1975 for most official purposes while dhimotiki was the 'ordinary spoken language'...in all its dialectal variety" (Herzfeld 1996: 280).
		This polarization of language, however, is but one realization of a deep ideological split which often took its symbolic form from the play of two opposed historiographies.
		In Greece, katharevousa was also the language of the New Testament, and, when in 1903 a translation in dhimotiki appeared, it "was the occasion for serious rioting" (Ferguson 1959a: 330).

		In Greek the language of the New Testment is felt to be the same as Katharevusa, and the appearance of a translation of the New Testment in Dhimotiki was the occasion for serious rioting in 1930.

		Katharevousa actually contained archaicised forms of modern words, purged of “non-Greek” vocabulary from other European languages and Turkish and a (simplified) archaic grammar.
		Dhimotiki was made the official language in 1976 and by the end of the 20th century Katharevousa had become obsolete.

		Owing to the fact that the Greek literary tradition discouraged the use of the vernacular, our evidence for earlier stages of colloquial Greek is quite limited.
		To this can be added the fact that it was the southern dialect of Modern Greek, particularly Peloponesian, which, for various historical reasons, came to dominate the formation of Greek Demotic (Dhimotiki).
		The northern dialects of Modern Greek are thus the most poorly attested, and they are also in the process of disappearing owing to mass education, mass media, and increased communication in general.

		Until recently (1976), this was the official language of Greece, in spite of the fact that for a long time dhimotiki was the only language naturally used by the majority of the people.
		Incidentally, one may note that the literal translation of katharevusa would be "pure language", while dhimotiki is "the people's language".
		Even in societies where diglossia is not so salient at a first glance, most people usually regard spoken vernaculars as worth less, as being less correct and less efficient than written language.

		This polarization was played out in the 'glossiko zitima', or language question, where katharevousa ('pure' language) came to stand for the European vision of a pure, revived Greekness, and dhimotiki (current language) for the recognition and celebration of an eclectic, heterogeneous past that gives richness to Greek language without sacrificing its national character.
		The music of the Orthodox Church, which preserved some of the ancient modes, could also be invoked as an intermediary source.
		At the center of the discussion about urban music was a disagreement about the relative merits of the 'oriental' music performed in the cafes aman and the 'European' music of the cafes chantants.

	LINGUIST List 12.1554: Barbour & Carmichael, Lg & Nationalism
		There is the dizzying alternation between the two Greek literary languages, "Katharevousa" and "Dhimotiki", often dependent on the politics of the regime in power and correlated with the opposing ideologies of "Ellinismos" (focused on the classical past) and "Romiosini" (stressing Byzantine heritage and peasant culture), respectively.
		This is coupled with a militantly non-objective stance against minorities and their languages, in both government and academia, that distorts or even denies the linguistic diversity of Greece to the point of paranoia.
		Only in such a context can one understand the bizarre incident in which a 1903 Dhimotiki translation of a classical Greek play led to riots and chants of "Death to the Slavs!" (p.

		In fact, one might expect these varieties to disappear, given that the high prestige standard is used predominantly by the social groups with the highest status.
		Yet, rather than deteriorating, vernacular dialects may - and in some cases have - become a regional standard over a high status variety, an oft-quoted example being Greece, where katharevousa, the standard variety, has been replaced by dhimotiki, a vernacular.
		Attempting an answer to the question posed, Gubuglo (1973, cited in Giles and Clair, 1979) ascribes the preservation of non-standard dialects to the value of language as a symbol of group identity.
