Ancient Greek. #Greek_language_day

She got the ancient Greek consonants right but her accent still sounds Italian.

makes a very good effort.

good try but not really close enough

Erasmian pronounciation is so much hurting to me, even though i understand Athens wasnt toning words the same like we do today until 500 BC or something, but even before the Koine the people of Greece spoke like the way we pronounce the tone of words in Modern Greek.

The Erasmian pronunciation is completely artificial and inaccurate. It was invented by Renaissance scholars with no real connection to how Ancient Greeks actually spoke. It ignores linguistic evolution, distorts historical phonetics, and misrepresents Greek poetry and rhythm. 1/2

Go to an Orthdox Church my friend to listen to ancient Greek. The language is still alive.

Ya this is not what it sounded like

The pronunciation is not wrong; the Erasmian pronunciation is a reconstruction of the alleged old Greek pronunciation.The existence of 3 vowels and 2 combinations that today produce the exact "e" sound alone,is an indication of today's pronunciation not being same as the old one.

The pronunciation is very wrong. Erasmian is a disgrace and is NOT Greek.
