	Russian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Russian belongs to the family of Indo-European languages, and is therefore related to Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin, as well as the modern Germanic, Romance, and Celtic languages, including English, French, and Irish, respectively.
		Judging by the historical records, by approximately 1000 AD the predominant ethnic group over much of modern European Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus was the Eastern branch of the Slavs, speaking a closely related group of dialects.
		Russian is the official language of Russia, and an official language of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Ukraine) and the unrecognized Moldovan Republic of Transnistria.

	[MGSA-L] Hellenic Studies Workshop at Princeton - Friday, April 26, 2002, 2:30 pm
		For instance, many typical features of medieval and modern Greek, such as the generalization of endings containing -a- in the aorist or the disappearance of the dative case, are attested already in the Hellenistic or even classical period.
		Despite the rich documentation of ancient Greek, the postclassical language and modern dialects exhibit a number of fascinating archaisms which deserve the attention of Indo-Europeanists and historical linguists in general.
		In addition to the history of Greek and other Indo-European languages, his areas of research interest include sociolinguistics, phonology, pidgin and creole languages, Semitic, and Jewish languages.

		Evidence from phonology indicates that the ancient Macedonian language was distinct from ancient Greek and closer to the Tracian and Illirian languages.
		Alexander began his war against Persia in the spring of 334 BC by crossing the Hellespont(modern Dardanelles) with an army of 35,000 Macedonians and 7,600 Greeks.
		Greek propagandists claim that the King of Macedonia, Alexander the Great, was in fact, Greek, despite the universal acceptance of historians and scholars that Alexander was indeed Macedonian.

	A Comprehensive Bibliography of Hellenistic Greek Linguistics
		Almost all of the works listed here apply some form of modern linguistics to Hellenistic Greek, though some of the older works have a more traditional tone.
		This article, originally published in the Belgian Journal of Linguistics (12 [1998] 149-173), treats verbal aspect in Greek questions from the Classical period, but no parallel work on the use of aspect in Hellenistic Greek questions is yet in print.
		Works to be added to this bibliography must treat some issue directly relevant to understanding Hellenistic Greek (koine Greek), or an earlier form of the Greek language (though preference is given to works discussing the language of the Hellenistic period).

	Local dialects (from Greek language) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		The word comes from the Ancient Greek dialektos “discourse, language, dialect,&; which is derived from dialegesthai “to discourse, talk.” A dialect may be distinguished from other dialects of the same language by features of any part of the linguistic structure—the phonology, morphology, or syntax.
		Of the local dialects, Tsakonian, spoken in certain mountain villages in eastern Peloponnese, is quite aberrant and shows evidence of descent from the ancient Doric dialect (e.g., it often has an /a/ sound for the early Greek /a/ that went to /e/ in Attic, later to /i/).
		After the Dorian migrations near the end of the 2nd millennium BC, Doric-speaking Greeks were found in the northwest of Greece as well as throughout the Peloponnese (except Arcadia) and the islands of the South Aegean (Crete, Thera, Rhodes, Cos).

	LINGUIST List 2.284: Phonology and Orthography
		With languages like Finnish, Czech, and, in spite of a complicated letter <-> match, French and Modern Greek (not to talk about Japanese kana etc.), it is possible to read a text aloud without actually knowing what it says, you just follow the letters.
		T If you exaggerate a bit, you might say that in English spelling, vowel letters only mark the _place_ of the vowel in the phonetic chain, plus give some rough indication of the quality of the associated vowel phoneme (think of words like read [2 readings!], beach, break,...).
		This is impos- sible with Arabic, Ivrit and other scripts that don't supply vowels: you have to understand the text first before you can read it aloud.

	Macedonia FAQ: The Modern Macedonian Language Among the South Slavic and Balkan Languages
		However, the fact that the Ohrid archbishopric was soon headed exclusively by Greek archbishops, and that Greek was its official language contributed to the spread of Greek cultural and linguistic influence in Macedonia especially during the Turkish period.
		Greek was the language of prestige here, and its influence was felt in writing and in everyday communication.
		The Macedonian dialects were in closest contact with the now-extinct 51 dialects of Albania and Greece, and thus the material provided by the toponyms in these countries is most useful in explaining some problems in Macedonian historical phonology.

	Balkan Comparative Syntax
		In Arvanitika, on the other hand, even though also part of the Tosk dialect group, one finds only subject control, as in Modern Greek.
		Therefore, influence from Greek on Arvanitika is likely, with the pattern of interpretation for the gerund in Arvanitika influenced by the Greek pattern, based on recognition by Arvanitika speakers that the Greek form and the Arvanitika form are parallel, to be identified cross-linguistically as being the same type of grammatical element.
		Although it is not clear exactly when the change in Arvanitika took place, it is most likely to be recent, once Arvanitika speakers became increasingly bilingual in Arvanitika and Greek; indeed, such bilingualism is the norm in virtually all Arvanitika communities nowadays, with the younger generation tending towards exclusive use of Greek.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.12.13
		The chapter is called "The Beginnings of Modern Greek", but the text examples suggest that Modern Greek does not begin until chapter three, "Greece under Frankish, Venetian and Turkish domination".
		There are of course syntactic preferences peculiar to Hellenistic Greek, but the text examples do not illustrate the more radical innovations listed in the beginning of the chapter (except for the changes in pronunciation reflected in the orthographical irregularities of the private letters).
		The author could have substantiated her claim with references to S.-T. Teodorsson, The Phonemic System of the Attic Dialect (Lund 1974) and The Phonology of Ptolemaic Koine (Göteborg 1977) or to J. Niehoff-Panagiotidis, Koine und Diglossie (Wiesbaden 1994).

	Encyclopedia: Rhyme
		In English, the spelling "rhyme" came to be adopted at the beginning of the Modern English period in order to reflect the Greek original, in the same way that a b was added to the words " dette " and " doute " to reflect the original Latin debitum and dubitum.
		In the study of phonology in linguistics, the rime or rhyme of a syllable consists of a nucleus and an optional coda.
		A distinction between the spellings is also sometimes made in the study of linguistics and phonology, where "rime/rhyme" is used to refer to the nucleus and coda of a syllable.

	Dialect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This point of view sees the modern Romance languages as dialects of Latin, modern Greek as a dialect of ancient Greek, and Tok Pisin as a dialect of English.
		Varieties of language such as dialects, idiolects and sociolects can be distinguished not only by their vocabulary and grammar, but also by differences in phonology (including prosody).
		A dialect continuum is a network of dialects in which geographically adjacent dialects are mutually comprehensible, but with comprehensibility steadily decreasing as distance between the dialects increases.

		Nothing similar is seen in Egyptian hieroglyphics, for instance, where the phonology of a word is indicated by writing extra, purely phonetic, glyphs.
		First of all, the latter uses an adapted Pinyin alphabet, where "x" is used for "s" and "g" for final "k." Second, athough Pinyin introduced the use of Greek-like accents to show tones, the Dictionary reverts to the old Wade-Giles way of simply numbering the tones with superscripts.
		Although both ancient and modern Chinese are written with the same characters, the modern daughter languages have become very different from the ancient one.

		The Macedonian dialects were in closest contact with the now-extinct 51 dialects of Albania and Greece, and thus the material provided by the toponyms in these countries is most useful in explaining some problems in Macedonian historical phonology.
		Also, the fact that a center of Slavic religious and literary activity arose in Ohrid at the end of the ninth century, and the fact that this city became the seat of the patriarchate under Czar Samuil (976-1014) are significant for medieval 51 cultural history, and especially for the development of the Church Slavonic language.

		He illustrated his point with the distribution of vocalic length in Modern Icelandic, where long nuclei appear in stressed open syllables (as they are defined by Government Phonology, i.e., in traditional monosyllables ending in a single consonant or a consonant cluster which functions as an onset, too).
		This unified account of both properties of the initial site in Greek is based on the theoretical status of the beginning of the word: the empty CV unit is not a universal and, as proposed by Scheer (2000), not present in the lexicon and its appearance parametrically varies from language to language.

	Fee-Alexandra Haase. Rise of Criticism between grammar, rhetoric and philosophy in ancient Alexandria.
		The most modern of post-Christian Greek critics is Dionysius of Halicarnassus, who leads up to Lucian and Cassius Longinus.
		Dionysius Thrax was the author of the first Greek grammar, flourished about 100 B.C. He was a native of Alexandria, where he attended the lectures of Aristarchus, and afterwards taught rhetoric in Rhodes and Rome.
		Dionysius defines grammar as a practical acquaintance with the language of literary men, and as divided into six parts accentuation and phonology, explanation of figurative expressions, definition, etymology, general rules of flexion and critical canons.
