Im so thankful for all of the work and effort Benjamin has put into this. This is definitely a standard reference work for the next generation of scholars.

the problem is answering the questions WHERE and WHEN. Pronunciation not only varies over TIME but GEOGRAPHY. Even if we say "first century AD" we know that Palestine pronounced differently than Alexandria than Athens, and so on. It seems to me that there is no right answer, so we just have to pick one. How do we properly pronounce English? WHERE???? London, Leeds, Scotland, Boston, Atlanta, Auckland? Even within a country there are regional accents ("we know you were with him because you have a galilean accent." Pittsburgh and Philly sounds quite different from each other.) I am grateful for the amazing work that so many (like Kantor) have done. But at the end of the day, we're just making decisions that work for us, right? There can't be a "right" answer for what is "authentic."

I find it amusing how many Greek teachers claim their pronunciation is Erasmian, yet they pronounce it differently from everyone else claiming theirs is the Erasmian pronunciation.

In all fairness to those professors, Erasmian pronunciation originated as satire, and even Erasmus himself, its creator, did not use it.

It's irrelevant what modern Greeks do, unless they are scholars with the relevant background.

@@ΓραικοςΕλληνας That's not koine pronunciation, that's byzantine pronunciation. And your question seems to lack understanding how languages evolve. It's not at a specific time where suddenly everything changes. Just like medieval english is pronounced a lot differently than todays english, because languages evolve over time with their pronunciation - so did it happen with greek as well. We divide the timeline at about the time of Justinian between koine and byzantine pronunciation.
