​@@Demetris59 Παζάρι is not an official word. Εμποροπανήγυρις is the word used formally. Yes, we do use turkish/arabic/italian/french words in everyday talk, but these words compose the informal greek language, the slangs. You won't read these words in any official paper, such as govermental or court papers. So, for that 5%-7% (I won't even debate that percentage, even though you're exaggerating) of the words being Arabic/Turkish/whatever, maybe 0.05% cannot be described using a formal Greek word. That 0.05% is mostly fruits and vegetables that were not native to Greece, like potato (πατάτα), tomato (τοματα), etc.

@@megistanas you are right, it was Koine Greek that became widespread, not Attic. Many patricians of Rome knew and spoke Koine Greek and it became a Lingua Franca in the Eastern part.

Incredibly informing and objective piece of work... There's only one detail I would like to point out: the Greek national minority of Northern Epirus (occupied by Albania) is still predominantly Greek-speaking. The area was actually liberated multiple times by its indigenous population but given back to Albania, the first time because of the intransigence of Mussolini's fascist regime and the second time because of communist reactionism. The Human Rights (Freedom of Education and other language and religious liberties) granted by the Protocol of Corfu (1914) were NOT put into actual force. In fact, in 2010, Aristotel Goumas was murdered by an Albanian mob on the road from Vlora to Saranda, because he was speaking his language in his ancestors' village. He is, of course, just one example among many. So, the yellow map @8.00 could be enriched to the North-West. PS: Indigenous Greek-speaking communities can be found all across the Eastern Mediterranean Basin and the Black Sea, although they do not constitute national minorities.

Because my ancestors have been living in the land of Hellas for more than 600 years and we have defended our land and freedom from every invader! Arvanites are an ancient indigenous people of Epirus who speak a hubrid language with hellenic and albanic influences. We have been using the Greek alphabet since the first Arvanite texts were published and our faith has always been - and will always remain- Christian and Orthodox. The modern Albanians (especially those called Gheg, and live in the north of Tirana) are basically the leftovers of the Turks and other Middle Eastern invaders, they are predominantly Muslim - with a Catholic minority- and are a shame for us all. Even the national hero of Albania (Georgios Kastriotis) was Christian and fought exactly against that what modern Albania has become: a Turkish colony and a pain in the ass for all democratic nations in the region. Please get educated (there is a lot of information out there in the free world), the school books of Hoxha and Stalin have no scientific validity in 2020. Ps. Come to any of the Arvanite villages in Greece, ESPECIALLY in the ones that you are claiming to be related to Albania -like the homeland of the great Marcos Mpotsaris in Souli- and try to call ONE of us Albanian.

@fot geo Translate this ANTİK YUNAN MUCİZESİ BİR MİTTİR. Sonda söyleneceği en başta söyleyelim; Antik Yunan kültürü toplama bir kültür olup öncesi olmayan, Helenlerin tamamen kendilerinin yarattığı bir uygarlık mucizesi olduğu savı bir mittir, emperyalist bir yalandır. Antik Yunan'ın toplama kültür olduğu Helen düşüncesi doğana kadar olan ilk devrede kolayca görülebilir. Tanrı panteonlarının kaynağı zaten var olan Anadolu, Kafkas ve Mezopotamya kültürüdür. Örneğin Yunan mitolojisindeki Artemis (tapınağı var) sözcüğü, İskitlerin atalarından Erdimpas'tır. Yine yunan mitolojisinde önemli yer tutan 'Afrodit' sözcüğü yunanca bile değildir, Akadlıların tanrıçalarından Astarte'nin yunanca söylenişidir. Antik Yunan'ın ne kendine has bir kültürü vardır ne de uygarlığı. Tamamen toplama olan mitolojisi gibi batılıların iddia ettiği uygarlığın mucizesi diye anlatılan şey de toplamadır. 'Yunan Mucizesi' diye bahsedilen 2500-3000 yıl öncesinde Yunanlıların Fenikelilerle ticarete başlaması sonucu ortaya çıkan bilgi ve din yığınlaşması, toplamıdır. Aynı İyonyalıların İskitlerle ticaret yapıp Ertimpas'ın antik Yunan da tanrılaşmasıdır. Ne Antik Yunan'ın ne Helen ve Hristiyan döneminin günümüz Batı uygarlığı(!) ile bir ilgisi yoktur. Günümüzün Batı uygarlığı(!) bunu Antik Yunan'a yada Roma'ya değil, koloni haline getirdikleri Amerika ve Afrika kıtalarına borçludur! O kıtalarda gerçekleştirdikleri vahşi soygun ile kendi toplumlarının refah seviyesini arttırmış, bu arttırma sonucu o toplumların daha fazla ve çabuk bir şekilde nasıl daha fazla yağmalarız düşüncesi sonucu teknik ilerlemeler olmuştur. Buharlı gemilerin icat edilmesi bunların ilklerindendir. Kapitalizm öncesi manifaktür dönemi de sömürgelerden gelen malların depolanması, işlenmesi sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Son olarak günümüz bilimi Latin alfabesi ile yapılmaktadır ve bilim dili olarak Latin alfabesi kullanılmaktadır. Kökeni ise Antik Yunan alfabesi değil, Etrüsk tamga sistemidir. Latinler sadece Yunan'ın harfleri disipline etmesini kendine örnek almıştır. Aynı şekilde yunan alfabesi de başka bir dilin disipline edilmiş halidir; Fenike alfabesi. Bütün bu palavraya son noktayı koyan bir gelişme oldu: Batı uygarlığının kökeni olarak gösterilen ve Doğu Helen olarak tanımlanan İyonya Halkının Helenlerle ilgisi olmayan yerel Anadolu halkı olduğu günümüzde anlaşılmıştır, her ne kadar Batılı çevreler bu konuda suskun kalsalar da. Fahri Işık bu bağlamda şunları söyler; “Batı uygarlığını Anadolu’nun batısında yaratanların, “gerçek İonlar”ın, Atina soydaşı Hellenler olduğu savı, önemi nedeniyle yukarıda da sıklıkla değinildi ki, tarihsel gerçeklere dayanmaz; çünkü M.Ö. 1200-800 arası süreçte yazı yoktur. Bilinenler, Ege Göçleri’nden 700 yıl kadar sonra Atina’da yazılan mitoslara ve o ortamda kaleme alınan Historia’ya dayanır (Hrd. 1, 147). Söz konusu Atina olduğunda Herodotos taraftır, mitos ise tarih değildir. İnanılması zor olsa da, Batılı eskiçağ bilimcileri, uygarlığının kökenini Hellenlere bağlama uğruna “masalı” tarih gerçekliğinde yorumlamakta bir sakınca görmemiş; bunu da, yukarıda yerli çömlekçilerin taklidi olarak yorumlanan, çok az sayıdaki Protogeometrik biçim ve biçemdeki kabın İonia’da M.Ö. 11. yüzyıl sonlarında başlayan varlığıyla belgelemeye ça- lışmışlardır 86. Mitoslardan çıkarılan, büyük göçün acımasız bir savaşın ardından geldiğidir ve bu boyutta yıkıcı bir savaşın da İonia’daki en erken Attik çömleğinden en az yüz yıl kadar önce yaşandığıdır (Res. 11)87. Dor Hellenleri’nin M.Ö. 12. yüzyılda gerçekleştirdiği saldırıların acımasızlığında canını kurtarabilen Akhaların Hellen beyleri, Latacz’ın deyimiyle, “ada- lardaki dostlarına sığınmış, kendi haline bırakılan halk da kurtuluşu Ege adalarına ve oradan Anadolu’ya kaçışta bulmuştur”88. J. Boardmann’a göre de savaş mağduru bu halk, “malı mülkü elinden alınmış, her şeyini yitirmiş” bir çaresizliktedir” ( Fahri Işık, “ANADOLU-İON UYGARLIĞI Kolonizasyon” ve “Doğu Hellen” Kavramlarına Eleştirisel Bir Bakış”, Anadolu/Anatolia 35, 2009, s.s. 71)

7:26 You are wrong that "Turkish invasion of north Cyprus prevents union with Greece". The idea of union with Greece had been abandoned since the birth of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960 (independence from Great Britain). The coup by Greek-Cypriot fascists in 1974 did not create any possibility of union with Greece and did not enjoy the support of the majority of Greek-Cypriots. Not even Greece itself as a nation attempted to use the coup for annexing Cyprus. But Turkey used the situation to invade Cyprus and conquer part of it, secretly backed by other powers. The aid from Greece to Cyprus to defend the invasion was almost negligible.

[@innosanto]

The idea of union with Greece had not been abandoned until 1970 and Cypriot parties and the Cypriot president wanted the union with Greece until at least 1970. But the Cypriot president was not happy with the way Greek governments were behaving from 1958 and onwards because Greek governments acted a little as puppets and were close to England (as Greece was under great UK influence after both the world war and also the greek civil war or 1949, with the winners in Greek civil war supported by UK) and Makarios were not happy with how Greek governments were not fully supporting the independence efforts of Cypriots afraid to displease UK. So, the Cypriot president was displeased with the Greek governments and some negotiations. The union was wanted. That is late 50s early 60s. Of course after 1965 and the constitutional crisis in Greece and the dictatorship that followed then the political chaos of 1965-1967, and the dictatorship, any talks were out of the question, without a ruling government of political government. Following that, the dictatorship betrayed both Greeks in Greece and in Cyprus with the fascist movement and the eventual events causing war, pain, feeling of betrayal and all the bad events. So, get your facts straight. The union was wanted and the Greek governments under huge UK influence in the 1945-1965 period and especially the post civil war period. Talks could only be held in the1950s after the civil war (and after the great catastrophes of Greek for example the 1953 earthquake catastrophes that turned half the ionian island towns into dust) so for a very short time period, but Greek government was hugely affected by the UK with winners of the civil war backed by UK to act freely and support Greek cypriots which caused bitterness. After 1964-1965 Greece had huge political problems and chaos and after 1967 no government or legal govermnent at all. And then with the invasion there were other wounds. Union however was at the time the best movement forward. Now it is very early to make any thoughts about such an issue, because the important issue which is unknown how it will be solved, is the unification of the island and this is the important and difficult issue that should be resolved.

[@filipposg]

​@@innosanto You are telling me "So, get your facts straight" when you yourself are essentially implying that after 1970 the idea of union with Greece was abandoned... I believe that your disagreement lies other where. So, get your arguments straight if you want your reply to have meaning. The purpose of the Turkish invasion was NOT TO STOP union with Greece. And since you analyse pre 1970 diplomatic events so much, you mihgt have mention the plans of the colonial power governing Cyprus and wishing to control the middle east, to divide the island even before 1958..

[@real_orestis_georgiou]

Bullshit, the idea for Enosis wasn't abandoned; it was just postponed for later when it would be possible to do it. If the treason of Cyprus in 1974 never happened, the union with mother Greece would have happened eventually.

If we Greeks came from the steppes in the dates that you mention and we are, as you say, Indo-Europeans, then how is it that there is Solon's dialogue with the Egyptian priests and that he talks about the war between Greeks and Atlanteans around 9200 BC.

1100 BC: Having no scripts found doesn't necessarily means that writing was forgotten for 300 years. 800 BC: Greek alphabet was unique in that for the first time consonants (that are actually non voices) were represented with letters. Most elementary part of speech is in fact the syllable, but with this amazing idea, a fission of syllable was achieved. This would help Greek language develop and become the perfect tool for science, arts, engineering, philosophy etc. 776 BC: Not first Olympic games organised but first Olympic games recorded.

Cypriot Greek has often been referred to as a dialect of Greek (Contossopoulos, 2000); a variety that is linguistically proximal to Standard Modern Greek (Grohmann and Kambanaros, 2016 Grohmann et al. 2016), which is the official language in the environment our participants acquire language. Although the official language in education and other formal settings is indeed Standard Modern Greek, research has shown the boundaries between the two varieties, Standard Modern Greek and Cypriot Greek, and their distribution across different registers is not straightforward (Grohmann and Leivada, 2012, Tsiplakou et al. 2016). At times mixing is attested without code-switching being in place, while no official characterization has been provided for any of these terms in this specific context. The question arising in this context is whether the attested variants emerging in mixed speech repertoires are functionally equivalent for an individual speaker. The concept of "competing grammars goes back to Krich 11989, 1991), who proposed that speakers project multiple grammars to deal with ambiguous input This concept has been explicitly connected to the relation between Standard and Cypriot Greek (Papadopo et al. 2014; plaka 2014; Grohman et al 2017) The two varieties have differences in all levels of linguistic analysis and often monolingual speakers of Standard Modern Greek judge Cypriot Greek as unintelligible. At the same time, Greek Cypriot speakers do not always provide reliable judgments of their own speech since these are often clouded by sociolinguistic attitudes toward using the non-standard variety. Cypriot Greek lacks official codification and its status as a different language/variety is often denied by Greek Cypriots who may downplay the differences between Standard Modern Greek and Cypriot Greek and describe the latter as just an accent (Arvaniti, 2010). As the discussion of the different variants will make clear in the next section, the two varieties have differences across levels of linguistic analysis and these differences vastly exceed the sphere of phonetics or phonology. All speakers of Cypriot Greek have exposure to Standard Modern Greek through education and other mediums and in this way, they are competent to different degrees in both varieties. We employ the term 'bilectal' (Rowe and Grohmann, 2013, 2014) to refer to the participants of this study, although it is not entirely clear that the varieties they are exposed to are Standard Modern Greek and Cypriot Greek or that they are only two varieties, under the assumption that a continuum is in place. For instance, the term 'Cypriot Standard Greek' (Arvaniti, 2010) has been proposed to refer to an emerging variety that may count as the standard in the context of Cyprus. This would be a sociolinguistically 'high' variety (Ferguson, 1959) that is used in formal settings, although its degree of proximity with Standard Modern Greek is difficult to determine with precision because great fluidity is attested across different settings and geographical areas. At the school environment, for example, one notices the existence of three different varieties: Cypriot Greek, as the home variety that is used when students interact with each other, Standard Modern Greek, as the language of the teaching material, and another standard-like variety that incorporates elements from both varieties, and is present in the repertoire of both the students and the instructors (Sophocleous and Wilks. 2010; Hadjioannou et al., 2011; Leivada et al.. 2017).

Good video. What about Linear A and Cretan hieroglyphics? Why does it start with Linear B. Also, the Phoenician alphabet theory is crumbling the last decades due to them emergence of new evidence.

[@BriefHistoriesTV]

Cretan scripts are not yet well understood and hence their language/s are unclassified. Archaeologists and linguists cannot say they are Indo-European, let alone Hellenic, with certainty.

[@SeiferAlmasiz]

Brief Histories Thanks for your reply. They haven’t been full deciphered true. There are words such Βα-σι-λι-ας(king-basil) translated from Linear A and Cretan hieroglyphics are definitely using symbols found in Linear A & B though. None other language at the time was using symbols as those. Linguists don’t argue of the connection between Linear A and b. They haven’t deciphered the writing yet. Also, the Phoenician debate is pretty interesting too. In the next decade, linguistics will have to scrap the Phoenician theory and pave a new route on understanding the alphabets of that time. The indo-European theory will follow. We need to understand that theories such as Phoenician alphabet and indo-european languages have been formed over 250 years ago. In the 1950s, Linear B was deciphered and understood as a Hellenic language, less than 100 years ago. Historians and linguists back then, considered the 8th century as the start of ‘Greek’ writing. The new archaeological findings will disapprove the Phoenician/indoeuropean theory. Exciting times.

Greek is credited officially with 7-8% of English, but from my extensive research on the Subject, the correct percentage should be more like 15% with upwards of 20%. 15% AT LEAST for sure!!

There is a group of people living in Gilan north of Iran known as Gilaks, as you can see there are similarities between Gilaki and Gallic (Irish,Welsh..) languages Gilaki: Khakhor / 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Khwaer (written Khwahar) Gilaki: Small: Pach/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Fach Gilaki: Breast: Chiche/ 🇮🇪 Chíche Gilaki: Boy: Rika 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Rocyn (Rokin) Gilaki: Chicken: Kerk/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cearc ( Kerk) Unlike Persian and Italian which show more similarities in the basic words comparing to Greek 🇮🇷 🇮🇹 / 🇬🇷 Mother: Madar madre/ μητέρα (Mitera) Father: Pedar padre / πατέρας (Patera) Boy/Son: Pur, Puer ( Latin) /αγόρι (Agori) Water: Ab, Abba (Sardinian)/ νερό (neró) What : Che Che /τι (Ti) Also Che Chizi , Che Cosa Who : Ki Chi /που (Pou) Inside: Andar, Entro/ μέσα(mésa) How much: Chand, Quanto / πόσο (Póso) Small: Khord, Corto / μικρό (Mikró) Thing : Chiz, Cosa /πράγμα (prágma) Young: Javan Giovane /νέος (Neos) Dead: Morde. Morto/νεκρός (Negros) Cat: Pishi & Gorbe, Gurpe (Fox in Sardinian)/Γάτα(Gáta) Liver: Jegar ، Jecur(Latin) /συκώτι(Sykoti) Cheekbone: Gune, Gena (Latin)/ζυγωματικό(Zygomatikó) Kiss: Buse, Bacio/ φιλί (Filí) Lip: Lab, Labbro/ χείλος (Cheílos) Throat: Galu, Gola / λαιμός (laimós) Breast: Sine , Seno/ στήθος (Stíthos) And it can’t be coincidence, due to the other similarities between the cultures like Nowruz bal in Gilaki and Beltane in Galik we may conclude that these people share the same root. About the similarities between Persian and Italian i have no idea. Maybe ancient Greeks too used to live in north of Iran near province of Gilan, a province known as Mazandaran (maybe related to Mycenaean) then they migrated to Balkan, some artifacts have been found in the province similar to Greek culture in Marlik, also according to Greeks there was a tribe known as Amazons,maybe this is also related to the name of Mazandaran ( Amazon and Mazan ) because Amazons and Greeks used to live nearby. There are some places in Mazandaran that have similar name to ancient Greek gods like Zanos, Neka, Chalus (maybe related to Achelous) , Astra .. After migrating from Mazandaran to Gilan they settled near the Caspian sea, according to Herodotus there was a tribe known as Geloni who spoke a language mix of Greek and Iranic. In Gilaki like Greek the word for Girl is Kor and as mentioned above Gilaki have similarities with Gallic languages. the word Greek itself maybe related to Gleek and Gallic, as the name of the country is Hellada or in its correct form Galata (as you know it’s located in Turkey, G -> H , T -> D ) which clearly shows the wave of migration from Iran to Turkey then to Balkan. But western scholars prefer closing their eyes on these basic and simple facts.
