NativLang | Byzantine Greek minuscule script - the alphabet & varied letter forms @NativLang | Uploaded April 2011 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Learn to write the cursive minuscule hand used for Medieval Greek. Letters of the alphabet appear in various forms. Earliest forms (generally 800-1200) appear on the left, later forms (roughly 1600-1800) on the right.
See my "Learn to Write Ancient Greek" playlist for an introduction to the basic Greek alphabet.
This video expands on my earlier presentation of the Byzantine alphabet, which only showed the early cursive letters. The next videos in this series will demonstrate accents & breathings, regular ligatures and trickier ligatures.
