Listening to non-native speakers of Attic Greek, it is so much easier to explain the phonological changes that led to contemporary Greek pronunciation. You can actually "hear" them as they happen.
What are you talking about? Is there any "native speaker of attic Greek"? Or have you ever heard anyone speaking in attic Greek as her/his mother tongue? 😅
@@sot11cat there aren't any and that's the point. Attic pronunciation changed into contemporary Greek pronunciation over many generations and the tendency toward those vowel and consonant shifts are evident when "artificial" speakers attempt the Attic pronunciation.
My background is in Byzantine Koiné and I understood every word. Perfectly intelligible but it’s like they’re pronouncing every word exactly how it LOOKS like! 😄
