: New Modern Greek

cool_dude85: Merging all the iota sounds into ι, and ω into ο destroys too much grammatically. I don't understand what the point of this is?

1-more: I support the creation of new letter shapes for one reason only: historical linguists on TikTok constantly have Greek speakers incorrectly correcting their ancient Greek pronunciation to sound modern. New/reinvigorated letter shapes and ligatures could mitigate this.

tsaki: Actually, last time the greek alphabet changed, it was not a revision, but more like political statement, after a turbulant period by a military junta. The conflict goes back a couple of centuries, after the Greek revolution and the need for a "pure" and united, at least linguistically, nation. In a nutcell it was Purists vs common people. If anyone is interensted, this debate is called the "Greek language question". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language_question

scarythoughts: Όχι.

theoneone: Όχι και από εμένα.
