Description

This essay has three main aims. The first one is an explanation of the Modern Greek pronunciation, as this is often ignored or known only superficially by many of those who attacked Modern Greek as a degenerated language. The second aim is to address some of the text interpretations made by the followers of the Erasmian pronunciation of Ancient Greek. The third aim is to present some unresolved issues regarding the origin of the Greek language, which is classed as Indoeuropean but when first recorded in writing it was already mixed with non-Indoeuropean languages.
