polýMATHY PLUS | "Vulgar" Attic vs. Classical Attic Pronunciation: The Rivalry of Greek Subdialects @polyMATHYplus | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Is the Reconstructed Classical Pronunciation of Attic Greek the only pronunciation of Attic during the Classical Period? According to Teodorsson in his work The Phonology of Attic in the Hellenistic Period (1978), we have conclusive proof that an innovative subsystem of Attic phonology, that in some ways was even *more innovative* that that of Modern Greek, was actually dominant in Classical times, and that the Reconstructed Classical Attic Greek pronunciation was in fact more popular after the end of the Classical Greek period. Watch to find out how different it really was.
