	Aeolic Greek - Iridis Encyclopedia
		The original Indo-european (and Proto-Greek) long a [a:] was retained everywhere, in contrast to the Ionic-Attic dialect, which turned it in a long open e [e:] under specific circumstances.
		In Lesbian Aeolic, the phenomenon of "psilosis" occurred, as in the Ionic sub-dialect.
		In Boeotian the ancient Indo-european (and Proto-Greek) semi-vowel [w] or "digamma" was retained, as was also in the Doric dialect.

	Phaistos disk
		If the Proto-Ionian theory be correct, then the language spoken by Paris would not be more disimilar from that spoken by Helen than the language of Sappho differs from Herodotus, Aeolic and Ionic, both also derivatives of a Proto-Ionian parent.
		Faucounau that the language of the disk is proto- Ionic, being primarily an Anatolian coastal and island language, fits the picture very well which I have been describing.
		He wrote on several occassions of a close rapport between Carians and Ionians, but clearly the bilingual indicates that Carian is not a dialect of Greek, but a separate linguistic entity.

	Ionic dialect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PIE genesa, Proto-Greek geneha, Ionic Î³ÎÎ½ÎµÎ±, Attic Î³ÎÎ½Î·, Elean Î³ÎÎ½Î±
		Ionic Greek was a sub-dialect of the so called Attic-Ionic dialectal group of the Ancient Greek (see Greek dialects).
		Ionic retained the original Greek hiatus (after the disappearance of some intervocalic consonants), whereas other dialects often contracted vowels in ways differing from dialect to dialect; e.g.

		This publication went almost unnoticed because linguists did not believe, at that time, that the language found, proto-Ionic, was possible (cf the so-called "Risch-Chadwick" theory).
		This was the lucky part of the deciphering process : finding a language which could easily be "reconstruct" from what we know from Ionic !..
		The decipherment of the Disk is just a confirmation that they were right : Ionic is not a "late dialect" !

	Articles - Ancient Greek
		For information on the Greek language prior to the creation of the Greek alphabet, see articles Mycenaean Greek and Proto-Greek.
		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.
		The Greek language had started shaping in local forms even before the settling of the Greek-speaking tribes into Greece ; yet the actual dialectic variation took place afterwards.

	Proto-Ionian theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Proto-Ionian Theory comes back to the old Paul Kretschmer's Theory of the three Greek waves, supposing a split of the Greek dialects as early as 3000 BC into three groups : Proto-Ionic-Attic ; Proto-Achean ; Proto-Doric.
		The Proto-Ionian Theory is a linguistical theory (with repercussions on archaeology), aimed at replacing the Risch-Chadwick Theory proposed in the 1950s by the Swiss linguist Ernst Risch and mainly defended by John Chadwick, a scholar who participated in the decipherment of the Linear B script.
		The Risch-Chadwick Theory supposes that at the Middle Bronze Age Period, the Greek dialects split into two main groups : the Western (or Northern) Group (or Proto-Doric) and the Eastern (or Southern) Group (all the other dialects).

	Proto-Ionian Theory
		However, knowledge of Homeric Greek helped Mr Jean Faucounau in discovering that this mysterious pre-Greek is not some elusive Pelasgian, but what he called proto-Ionian, a precursor of Attic and Ionic dialects.
		This, in a nutshell, is the Proto-Ionian Theory.
		If Mr Faucunau proves to be a new Champollion even without a putative discovery of a new proto-Ionian Rosetta stone, then the entire history of the Bronze Age in the Mediterranean needs to be reconsidered and re-written.

	Greek alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally there were several variants of the Greek alphabet, most importantly western (Chalcidian) and eastern (Ionic) Greek; the former gave rise to the Etruscan alphabet and thence to the Roman alphabet.
		The letter san was used at variance with sigma, and by classical times the latter won out, san disappearing from the alphabet.
		Roman alphabet and Cyrillic alphabet, are derived ultimately from Greek.

	greek alphabet
		Originally there were several variants of the Greek alphabet, most importantly western (Chalcidian) and eastern (Ionic) Greek; the former gave rise to the Etruscan alphabet and thence to the Roman alphabet.
		The fact that the Greek alphabet derives from an earlier Semitic script is uncontested, the exact source(s) of the Greek alphabet are however controversial.
		During the Middle ages, the Greek scripts underwent changes paralleling those of the Roman alphabet: while the old forms were retained as a monumental script, uncial and eventually minuscule hands came to dominate.

	Proto-Greek_language LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER
		The Proto-Greek language is the common ancestor of the Greek dialects, including the Mycenean language, the classical Greek dialects Attic-Ionic, Aeolic, Doric and North-Western Greek, and ultimately the Koine and Modern Greek.
		An isogloss between Greek and the closely related Phrygian is the absence of r-endings in the Middle in Greek, apparently already lost in Proto-Greek.
		Close similarities of Ancient Greek and Vedic Sanskrit suggest that either both Proto-Greek and Proto-Indo-Iranian were still quite similar to late Proto-Indo-European, which would place the latter somewhere in the 4th millennium BC, or a post-PIE Graeco-Aryan proto-language.

		Also, any connection with Luwian hieoglyphics points to an Indo-European language, which would be the case for proto-Ionic.

		The decipherment of the Phaistos Disk enters very well in the Kretschmerian frame : c.3000 BCE, the "first Greeks", the Proto-Ionians, came by sea from the Danubian Delta and settled at Troy, then a few centuries after in the Cycladic Islands and on some coastal places in Greece (Attica and Euboea, in particular).

	Lesbian Aeolic
		For example, the combination -sm- of proto-Greek (a hypothetical creature I will invoke from time to time) in Ionic dropped the -s- and lengthened the preceding vowel.
		I will refer to historical forms from time to time since I find this often helps me to remember some of the stranger equivalences (assuming I know the Ionic/Attic form, too).
		Typically the -n- was dropped and a preceding short vowel was lengthened to compensate.

	The Phaistos disk
		In 1975, Jean Faucounau published a little-noticed but quite-convincing translation [Amazon France $15+], arguing that the language was proto-Ionic, and that the mother-culture was closer to Troy than Crete.
		'Phaistos' can be translated as proto-Greek: "the most shiny land-mark to be seen from the sea" (ie, a lighthouse).
		This six-inch-diameter clay disk [drawing] [info] was found in 1908 at Phaistos on Crete, and has been dated to sometime before the Thera eruption, c1628 BC.

	Aeolic Greek
		[example: Attic he:lios (= sun), Ionic e:elios, Lesbian a:elios]\n* In Boeotian the ancient Indo-european (and Proto-Greek) semi-vowel [w] or "digamma" was retained, as was also in the Doric dialect.
		This or similar traits are also found in many other Indo-european languages, such as Germanic, Italic, Insular Celtic, Croatian etc. [example: Ionic-Attic potamo's (= a river), Lesbian po'tamos]\n* The infinitive ending of the Aeolic dialect is -men, the same as the Latin verbal nouns ending -men.
		By the name Aeolic is known among linguists a set of rather archaic Greek sub-dialects, spoken mainly in Boeotia (a region in Central Greece), in Lesbos (an island close to Asia Minor) and in other Greek colonies.

	Ancient Greek Language
		Attic Greek - a subdialect of Ionic, was for centuries the language of Athens.
		One theory suggests that it originated with a migration of proto-Greek speakers into the Greek peninsula, which is dated to any period between 2500 BC and 1700 BC.
		Doric was standard for Greek lyric poetry, such as Pindar and the choral odes of the Greek tragedians.

	ANISTORITON: Viewpoints
		The classification of the Greek dialects into four groups (Ionic-Attic, Arkado-Cypriot, Aiolic and West Greek) has been universally accepted, as has also been agreed by all scholars that "Greek" (or at least its Indo European component) has been brought by "immigrants from the north".
		This statement has long been considered as indisputable, and it is only recently that J. Coleman (2000), on the basis of the most recent archaeological findings, has proposed that the "Proto-Greeks" arrived from the north at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, in the later fourth millennium BC.
		It has been impossible for archaeologists to advocate any reconstruction of the Greek Prehistory, which would be contrary to the Risch-Chadwick's linguistic basic hypothesis and its consequence: the Mycenaean dialect "is" the ancestor of all Greek dialects, except the West Greek ones, brought in by the Dorians at a late date.

		In 1975, a decipherment was succinctly published in a French scientific journal by the present writer, who, not being on the faculty of any university, had been free to solve the enigma without being considered as a fool by his colleagues.
		The conclusion is unequivocal : the layer was undisturbed in the vicinity of the Disk and entirely Middle Minoan.

		The Proto-Greek language is the common ancestor of the Greek dialects, including the Mycenean language, the classical Greek dialects Attic-Ionic, Aeolic, Doric and North-Western Greek, and ultimately the Koine and Modern Greek.
		Greek is a Centum language, which would place a Graeco-Aryan protolanguage before Satemization, making it identical to late PIE.
		The characteristically Greek representation of word-initial laryngeals by prothetic vowels is shared by the Armenian language, which also shares other phonological and morphological peculiarities of Greek.

	GREEK, Ancient
		More broadly within Indo-European, Greek shows itself as a "centum" language, with a distinct outcome for the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) labiovelars, opposed to a single outcome for both the palatals and the velars of PIE.
		Dialectally, [w] had a wider distribution, being found in most dialects outside of Attic-Ionic in positions other than postvocalic; [j] occurs in Mycenaean in initial and intervocalic position.
		The slender evidence is open to different interpretations, so that no definitive answer is really possible but most likely, Ancient Macedonian was not simply an Ancient Greek dialect on a par with Attic or Aeolic (see below).
