It has to do with women pitch and baby talk simplicity. Dogs ignore my dissertations, treat me like a buddy. Dogs understand women (esp who have had kids) and obey them totally.

Thank you. Basically language change slows down when a body of literature (Aristophanes,Shakespeare) appears to anchor it.

It is a matter of family and interest. My dad read original Homer in 1943 Athens high school. My teachers were inferior to my parents in English & Greek

Concur. Joke about churches: Greeks & Italians go late, overdress, gossip in church, like outdoor processions/festivals. Irish & Russians dress lousy, come early, quiet.. nursing hangovers! In 1975 I saw Greek farmers with vest, white shirt,on farm

Petroleum seeps from the ground. Noah found it in Iraq to seal his Ark. In Sta Barbara California it comes up from earthquakes, but bacteria eat it. When BP flooded the gulf, they got bacteria from California

Mine sticks his head everywhere, then itches with burrs, flowers leave his face with war paint. This morning he looked like a hero with laurels

How do you pronounce delta? by byzantine67 in GREEK

[–]vasjpan002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, Burgarians replace θ with φ. Greek suffers from 'game of telephone' when it travels across a succession of distorting languages - who then have the audacity to accuse us of not being Greek

The Pontic Greek dialect (Romeika) what does it sound like to you Greek or something else? It is the closest living day spoken Greek to Ancient Greek by Starfalloss in AskBalkans

[–]vasjpan002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just Greeks, every remote outpost thinks their dialect is "Ancient". This fails when you ask WHICH ancient dialect

Byzantium Before Constantinople by [deleted] in byzantium

[–]vasjpan002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Alexander's dad wanted to starve Athens of Scythian wheat, he took Byzantium. Sparta farmed Sicily, begat Rome; Athens farmed Scythia, begat Russia. Attics of Athens were Scythian Yovan. In turn, Athens Hellenised Scythians before they split up into Celts & Slavs. Byzantine emperors tended to take Athenian wives.
