  Monotonic orthography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monotonic orthography is the simplified way for spelling modern Greek introduced in 1982.
The simplification was justified by the fact that the polytonic orthography was complex and difficult to learn, and the diacritics had no significance in modern speech, merely giving some etymological information about the words and their ancient pronunciation.
The Greek Orthodox church, for example, continues to use polytonic orthography, and some books are still published in polytonic.

 Monotonic function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inspired by the shape of the graph of a monotone function on the reals, such functions are also called monotonically increasing (or "non-decreasing" or, less precisely, just "increasing").
A constant function is both monotone and antitone; conversely, if f is both monotone and antitone, and if the domain of f is a lattice, then f must be constant.
Monotonicity of entailment is a property of many logic systems that states that the hypotheses of any derived fact may be freely extended with additional assumptions.

 polytonic orthography - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
It was the standard orthography for all varieties of Greek from Hellenistic times until 1982, although the distinctions it represented had disappeared from the spoken language very early on.
In 1982, the Greek Parliament adopted monotonic orthography.
Following the final adoption of the Demotic (Dhimotiki) form of the language in the late 20th century, the monotonic orthography has been officially adopted, which uses only the acute accent (or sometimes a vertical bar intentionally distinct from any of the traditional accents) and omits the breathings.

 Distinguishing Greek and Greek
The difference between monotonic and polytonic is not a distinction of script.
In monotonic orthography, all but two of these diacritics are not used.
Monotonic and Polytonic orthography, however, are distinct, and are just as much orthographies deserving of RFC 3066 tags as de-1901 and de-1996 were.

Inspired by the shape of the graph of a function of a monotone function on the reals, such functions are also called monotonically increasing (or "non-decreasing" or, less precisely, just "increasing").
A constant function is both monotone and antitone; conversely, if f is both monotone and antitone, and if the domain of f is a lattice (order), then f must be constant.
Some notable special monotone functions are order embedding s (functions for which x ≤ y iff f(x) ≤ f(y)) and order isomorphism s (surjective order embeddings).

 ISO 8859 - Wikipedia
ISO 8859-7 (Greek) — Covers the modern Greek language (monotonic orthography).
Can also be used for Ancient Greek written without accents or in monotonic orthography, but lacks the diacritics for polytonic orthography.
ISO 8859-16 (Latin-10 or South-Eastern European) — Intended for Albanian, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian and Slovenian, but also Finnish, French, German and Irish Gaelic (new orthography).

 Greek language - Phantis
Greek is written in the Greek alphabet, the first true alphabet (as opposed to an abjad or abugida) and the ancestor of both the Latin and the Cyrillic alphabets.
Modern Greek is written with Greek alphabet in monotonic, polytonic or atonic, either according to Demotic (Mr.
The only official forms of Greek language are the Monotonic and Polytonic.

 Greek language - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Greek has certain sandhi rules, some represented in the orthography, some not.
In addition to the letters of the alphabet, Greek has a number of diacritical signs, most of which were eliminated from official use in Greece in 1982 as no longer corresponding to the modern pronunciation of the language.
See Monotonic orthography for the simplified modern set, and Polytonic orthography for the traditional set.

 grave accent Information Center - accent grave
The grave accent (`) is a diacritic mark used in written Greek until 1982 (polytonic orthography), French, Catalan, Welsh, Italian, Vietnamese, Scottish Gaelic, Norwegian, Portuguese, Irish (Gaelge) and other languages.
In Greek the grave accent occurs only on the last syllable of a word, in cases where the normal high tone (indicated by an acute accent) was lowered in Ancient Greek because of a following word in the same sentence.
It is used in the traditional polytonic orthography, but the monotonic orthography used for Modern Greek has replaced it with an acute accent.
