	Aoidoi: Greek Dialects - Where to Start
		Attic is the dialect most widely used for teaching beginners, in part due to romanticism surrounding the cultural flowering of Athens at the height of its power, but also the substantial number of works in it.
		The Doric coloring is fairly superficial, especially in the Athenian playwrights, who used it in the choral sections of their plays.
		The other literary Doric — different in a number of ways from the choral dialect — was evidently the creation of Theocritus, who used it for several of his bucolic mimes, and was followed in this by Bion, Moschus and the authors of a few anonymous works.

	Dorians - LoveToKnow 1911
		All this points on the one hand to an intrusion of Doric dialect into an Arcadian-and-Ionic-speaking area; on the other hand to a subsequent expansion of Aeolic over the north-eastern edge of an area which once was Dorian..
		Its area coincides also approximately with that of the previous Achaean conquests; and if the Dorians were as backward culturally as traditions and archaeology suggest, it is not improbable that they soon adopted the language of the conquered, as the Norman conquerors did in England.
		Language is no better guide, for it is not clear that the Dorian dialect is that of the most recent conquerors, and not rather that of the conquered Achaean inhabitants of southern Greece; in any case it presents no such affinities with any non-Hellenic speech as would serve to trace its origin.

	ANCIENT GREEK FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Throughout history the Greek language is presented in a number of dialects that did not apply on fixed geographical borders, and even if it did, those borders would be constantly altered because of the frequent migrations of the Hellenic peoples.
		In that respect, the article on Doric describes the "Common" form of Doric as it is seen, e.g., in Pindar's poetry (known as ''Choral Doric''), which differs from local forms such as Laconian, Cretan, Sicilian.
		This dialect slowly replaced most of the older dialects, although Doric dialect has survived to the present in the form of the Tsakonian and Southern Italian dialects of Modern Greek.

		The dialect of North-East Scotland, one of the most distinctive and best preserved in the country, survives as both a proudly maintained mark of local identity and the vehicle for a remarkable regional literature.
		The present study, after placing the dialect in its historical, geographical and social context, discusses in some detail a selection of previous accounts of its distinctive characteristics of phonology and grammar, showing that its shibboleths have been well recognised, and have remained consistent, over a long period.
		This study clearly demonstrates both the individuality of the dialect and the richness of the local culture of which it is an integral part.

		New research shows that, even in the north-east of Scotland, the heartland of the rich Doric dialect, the use of the velar fricative - the "ch" sound produced in the back of the throat for words such as loch, broch and fecht - is in danger of dying out.
		The threat to Doric in particular, and the Scots language in general, was revealed by Dr Jennifer Smith, a lecturer in linguistics at York University, who conducted research into the use of various dialect markers in her native Buckie.
		She said that, while distinctive Doric words such as "fit" (what), "fan" (when) and "far" (where) were still being used by almost the whole population, the Scots "ch" sound is increasingly absent from young people's speech.

		Doric contains a number of words not found in other dialects of Lowland Scots.
		As is usually the case with marginalised languages, local loyalties prevail in the written form, showing how the variety "deviates" from standard ("British") English as opposed to a Lowland Scots "norm".
		These local loyalties, and relative distance from the Central Lowlands, ensure that the Doric scene has a degree of semi-autonomy.

	PELLA KATADESMOS : Encyclopedia Entry
		Before the discovery of the Pella katadesmos in 1986, it was proposed that Doric Greek may have been spoken in pre-Hellenistic Macedon as a second dialect in addition to a Macedonian dialect (Rhomiopoulou, 1980).
		These show that a Doric dialect was spoken in Macedon, as we would expect from the West Greek forms of Greek names found in Macedon.
		And yet later Macedonian inscriptions are in Koine avoiding both Doric forms and the Macedonian voicing of consonants.

		The language can be reconstructed in outline from a comparison of ancient dialects and from Mycenaean inscriptions, such as LINEAR B, now generally agreed to be an early form of Greek.
		Classical Greek is known in four main dialect groups--Attic-Ionic, Arcado-Cyprian, Aeolic, and Doric--spoken in independent city-states and creatively adapted for particular genres in the great works of classical literature.
		The deciphering (1952) of the so-called Linear B script, examples of which were found on tablets during the excavations made in Crete and on the mainland of Greece after 1900, revealed it as an ancestor (1500-1400 BC) of Arcado-Cyprian.
