😁 bueno, aprende griego entonces! te prometo que te resultará mas fácil de lo que crees, gramaticanente y sintácticamente son muy parecidos. yo lo hice al revés sin lecciones, con instinto. intentalo!
apréndelo, como dicen aquí! yo te animo, es más fácil de lo que parece y al final te acaba enamorando. creo que muchos nos pusimos a aprenderlo por la curiosidad que da el que suene como nuestro idioma pero... no entiendes nada! :D
True but the definition of dilect is that it is based in the main language. Their ard locak words and meanings added as well as words and meanings from other close languages. The old anchent languages are just about dead. Cipriots cut the words down i always found them funny to listen to at work. Like kazy speakers.
Griko dialect is spoken not only in Calabria but also in Salento (Southern Apulia). Some people think that it is a mixture between Greek and Italian, but it actually isn't. It is a mixture between ancient Greek, Byzantine Greek and local romance languages which are different from standard Italian. Standard Italian has nothing to do with Griko, only local romance languages (disrespectfully called "dialects") left their significant influence on it, just like Griko left its massive influence on them.
My Yiayia was from Siciliy and spoke Greko (as she called it). It's been a long time since I've heard it but it sounded the same as this from what I can recall.
As an Albanian, Greek culture is wonderful and the language seems so complex and beautiful. Much love dear Balkanic brothers! We are two of the most ancient cultures in this region and we must be friends, not fight over some land and sea!
Greeks aren't brothers with albanians because albanians are brothers with turks because both came from caucasus after the year 1453 . The Greek culture is the only in the region and in the europe , which the word europe is Greek too
@@Llyebbay I don't think you belong here mate. Try one of those Greek nationalist videos which talk against immigration and the "Muslim invasion" of Europe. I don't think you ever graduated high school in neither history nor English language. I'll leave it at that since patriotism or nationalism are not my virtues, and I don't even respect. Farewell.
Greece is claiming nothing from Albania. Greece is not after Albania for land and sea as you said. Indeed it's the exact opposite. Albania for decades supports those deluded Nazi allies, the Albanian Chams, who got pushed out of Greece when the AXIS lost, actually vastly most of them fled Greece a the end of WW2 in fear of the prosecutions they would surely face for the crimes they commited on the Greek people during this war, and now with the Albanian governments on their side they demand ...reparations from Greece! *A Nazi ally demands reparations!!* This has become an official thesis of the Albanian state. So please... you attempt to equate with Greece the Albanian outrageous revisionism (I again refer to the Albanian Chams who claim large parts of Greek lands and sea as their own with help from the Albanian goevernment). Greece is your *best ally on your accession to EU.* You have no other ally on this... and you go around defaming Greece that she supposedly covets your land and sea.
@@Православац-р8б I don't really get your point. It's not "Pelasgian". It's Greek.

Nowadays scholars propose closer relations between Greek and albanian as well as Armenian
I'm a Lebanese, but Greek is my third language having lived in Athens for several years. Cypriot Greek is near impossible for me to understand.

Are you from Cyprus? do you know if in the history of your country there was an immagration to souther Italy because i'm in part sicilian and I recently discover that the family name of my grandmother (Tricomi) is originally from a city in Cyprus called Τρίκωμο (Trikomo) , i think that her ancestor were Byzantin that leave Cyprus to go in Sicily.
@@pumpkin91ful yes, there's a village called Trikwmo near Famagusta. I can see a potential link between Latin merchants and the city of Famagusta and nearest villages. Unfortunately now the village is in Turkish hands, same as Famagusta. If you want to learn more about the village here's a link, use Google translate www.trikomo.org/gr/history.html
@The Cypriot Yeah,it's difficult to discover, because family names can be originated from a "nicknames","Craft", "Patronimic"or"Birthplace" of the family,in the old languages,( Byzantine was co ufficial in Sicily and Calabria until the end of middle age); in Messina there is still a community of ellenic speakers ,that after the terrible earth quake of 1908,it has been reduced drastically ;a PDF that i found on internet talked about greeks familes and the etymologies of their name from A to Z ,among then there was "Tricomi"; a strong % of a bizantine is possible,if it is, i would be so happy ,i always loved Cyprus.
@@GrimbleSkulksnare Thank you so much, the dilemma is why they got this name?they receved it by the byzantins of Sicily?,or they were greek immigrants?or it's comes from the sicilian language(that got a lot of grrek in it?)by the way,if you understand a little of italian ,there is a PDF that explain Sicily families comunitaellenicadellostretto.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/cognomi-greci-messina-macris-messenion.pdf
The footage from Crimea actually shows people speaking (slightly accented) Standard Modern Greek - NOT Crimean (Mariupolitan) Greek/Rumeika, which is an endangered dialect of Pontic Greek, spoken by a small ethnic minority along the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, in southeastern Ukraine. I doubt it's spoken anywhere in modern-day Crimea. Here's a more authentic example of that dialect (read with a Ukrainian accent) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-veAWovd8vT0.html
we still speak Pontic in Greece , its not taught in school but we speak with the familly so the language dont die , im sure Greeks of diaspora do this too
@@brunodrivel2487 No you actually don't assure me nothing. If you know Pontic Greek, you know Pontic Greek. Exclusively Modern Greek speakers literally in fact can't understand Pontic. I am a Modern Greek speaker and I am the only one assuring you that Pontic Greek is mostly gibberish to me because it's really a different language that has been politically propagandized to be the same as Modern Greek, Greeks are lying shamefully from their lying mouths and their nose is growing from the many lies, those pseutarades, like Pinoccio.

There, actually, some other forms of Greek dialects like the Mistiot dialect, spoken by Anatolian Greeks, but there are very few recordings of them speaking their native dialect.
I'm of Greek descent and live in Switzerland... this is really very interesting!! The Roumeika sound just like modern Greek with a slight Slavic accent...
I am a Cypriot born and raised in London UK. Whilst much of my Greek I speak is Cypriot dialect, we too here in the UK have garnered our own dialect, the UK Cypriot dialect, where when we go to Cyprus, some of our words we say, the Cypriots don't understand them! It's because when we were growing up, we went to English schools of course, we also went to Greek school, but mostly we spoke with a mixture of Greek an English. A lot of people call it Gringlish! The best part of it is when we go either to Greece or Cyprus on holiday, we speak Greek with an English accent!
The one shown as "Crimean Dialect / Rumeika / Mariupolitan / however you call it" is actually just Standard Greek spoken with a Russian accent. This is the only video I could find that features this dialect, it's a song though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6WKAgOXEC-o.html
i'm third generation greek australian. one grandpa from cyprus and a grandma with pontian heritage. I am able to understand most words which is fascinating.
I am fluent in greek but I always get confused when people speak fast cause its my second language and my brain cant compute fast enough and my whole family speaks greek at a normal pace so when I interact with fast talkers its super confusing.
As a Greek born and raised in Cyprus i have to say that in Cyprus we also have different versions of the GreekCypriot dialect. Im fluent on GreekCypriot language but there are places here where people talk much different than what i was taught and they say many words which i literally cant understand at all! I totally understand the Greek brothers if they met Cypriots and they couldn't understand anything! It depends on location , in big cities when we meet a person from Greece we are standard Greek with them so they can understand us even if when we are doing that it sounds weird because of the accent but if you meet Cypriots from villages and try to talk with them you will only understand 10% of what they are saying. I love Cyprus but my mother is Greece and sons with mothers have deeper relationships!! May i live the day when this island unites back with the motherland!

@@mrdi8279 It is not Romanian. This is what Romanian nationalist say. It is a different language, similar to Romanian. The common late Latin ancestor for both of the languages was some time in the 8th to 10th century in the Balkan/Haemus mountains. Some people migrated northwards, and became today's Romanians, the others to the South, and became the Aromanians/Vlachs. Romanians have more slavic words in their language, vlachs more Greek words. I think German and Dutch are in the same way related as Romanian/Vlahika.

Okay as a Cretan/American myself that grew up heavily in the Cretan culture while living in America, I want to know what you all think about the Cretan dialect? It just sounds like normal Greek to me obviously

I am a Standard Greek native speaker. I can understand 90-95% of Cretan and Cypriot in this video, 80 % of Anatolian and Mariupolitic Greek (that was a nice surprise) , 60-70% of Griko/Calabrian Greek and 30-40% of Tsakonic Greek. I think Tsakonic Greek are the most difficult because it originate from the ancient Doric form of Greek, while all others originate from Byzantine/Medieval Greek, so have not diverged much during the ages. I think the same goes for Pontic Greek (maybe they also have Dorian /other origins?) which were not much represented in the video, and are really hard for me to understand.
Well, the Tsakonian here were quite easy to understand (I guess for anyone) ,as it is in many videos, beacuse they choose something easy to say like "Welcome,how are you". Whenever I listen to my relatives speak the dialect I struggle to understand them even though I have been listening the dialect since I was born.Morover many people have different accents some of them are more "heavy" since the dialect has its own variations depending where someone is from,i.e. where each village is situated the southern or the northern part of the Kynouria area,for example my grandmother was speaking a bit differently and with more "haevy" accent than my grandfather.
Cypriots can actually understand every dialect and accent is so easy for them. Because they speak outside of school with cypriot accent and in school greek. Also they promote their dialect with many songs and culture.

9:10 The women who are speaking the Cretan dialect aren't actually from Crete! The actors as well as the characters they incarnate speak the standard Greek and they are pretending that they are from Crete because they're making a prank to that woman who is working for a radio station!
Bad example of Cretan dialect ( at the first one and the one with the three speaking on phone) this is an actor play probably some of them not even native speakers. West Cretan is also different to east Cretan.
@@ozanbayrak562 I can't mention all of them but I will give just a hint. In Western Cretan we pnonounce "k" as "kts" but in East they pronounce it as "ts". Also in West we often pronounce "L" close to something between "L" and "r". In eastern Crete they have a different way of pronouncing syllables with "n" and "L" for example in a the word "Iraclio" (the biggest city of the east) the "cli" is different, i can't seem to find me a way to explain the exact way they pronounce it in English. Also we have many idiom words that differ.
Jim B thank you. Crete is a very beautiful island. I have been to there 3 years ago and travelled the west part, hora sfakion and northern coast by my car. Crete is awesome.
@@ozanbayrak562 Best thing about Crete is its history. We don't forget that our grandfathers fought against slavery from dark Nations and cults. We are the start and(now unfortunately geographically) the ending edge of Hellenism, that always fought for the light of freedom, democracy, and its child Western Civilization.
@@Ben_Dover312 indeed. Southern Italy is very close to greeks though. Its remarkably amazing how different Italian north from South is though. My opinion is that this hapoens becausw south was heavily affected by greek civs (anciwnt greeks, byzantion etc) whilst the north was heavily affected by austrians (holy roman empire, habsurga etc)
OK if you were around 1-2000 years ago you'd most recognize: Pontic as Diplomatic Ellinikí, Cypriot as sounding more rustic but "old" and Cretan as basically "probably what they spoke 1-2000 years before". As an old person, not 1-2000 years old though sadly, I'm astonished how fast "modern Greek" is devolving .. Just 40 years ago it was far, far richer and more nuanced and not rattled off like Spanish!
Standard: I understand 100 % Greka: I mostly understand it Griko: 30 to 50 % Pontic: 99% Cretan: 90% Cypriot: 95% Tsakonian: I understand most words but I can’t understand what he is exactly talking about Rumeika: 100%
Τα κυπριακα κλιπς δεν αντιπροσωπευουν ΚΑΘΟΛΟΥ την κυπριακη διαλεκτο😅 μιλουν οσο πιο μοντερνα ελληνικα μπορουν χαχα Για τα τσιαρλουθκια: The Cypriot clips do not represent the Cypriot dialect AT ALL! They talk as much modern Greek as they can😅
they speak crystal clear modern greek with just a slight different toning sometimes ,probably due to the fact that they are not tought the languange by the albanian schools and most of the time speak albanian
I can't judge the other dialects, but talking about the cypriot dialect, you've chosen some of the most inaccurate videos. Also, as a guy who visits Crete almost yearly because my sister is studying there, the videos used for cretan dialects were inaccurate too (maybe a Cretan can confirm this). In these cases, it seemed like these videos were supposed to be played by other greek speakers, hence they were speaking accordingly.
All of the Cypriotic examples were wrong... they were Cypriots trying to talk nice and ''properly'' on TV. Go and find a grandma from Trashipedoula or some other village in Paphos and listen to that...
greek half /half Crete & Corfu here, I understand better to worse : cretan (obv), the crimean shown here, kypriot/pontiaka equally, tsakonika and last greco, even though knowing Italian I understand quite a lot but get confused about when the word shifts from greek to Italian. 1. στο 5:00 εκλασα στο γέλιο με το σάουντρακ κιλλ μπιλ 2. η τουμασατου και η αλλη που γαμωτο δε θυμάμαι τώρα όνομα, πολυ καλα πετυχανε για ηθοποιοί την προσφορά, και εννοείται η καστανη γεραπετριτισα θεά αγαπώ

Such beautiful, exotic women in this video. I especially love the girl at 7:10, Olga, who is one of the most gorgeous I've seen. Love her voice and accent, as well.
Hi , thank you very much for the video ! I want to ask if some of the dialects (such as Greka & Griko are mixed of Italian and Greek , or only Italian? I've noticed the word "Pero" in one of the words the guy in Griko said , and there is no such word in Greek as much as I know ...
The Greka and Griko dialects are a mix between Italian and Greek , but more specifically an older version of Greek (probably around the Byzantium era, some claim even older).
I also believe it could easily be classified as a language,but the only argument against that is that it lacks written books,poems,songs etc. since up until recently(19th century) people didn't write it (I guess they didn't knew how to write most of them)...
How about accents...how does the Athenian accent differ from the Rodian Accent, and the Thessonaliakian accent ...compared to Londoners, Birmingham, and Liverpool accents...if love to know this
