No? Trust a bigot to tell you a joke! Perhaps he can translate the folowing for us:

Χθονὸς μὲν ἐς τηλουρὸν ἥκομεν πέδον,
Σκύθην ἐς οἷμον, ἄβατον εἰς ἐρημίαν.
Ἥφαιστε, σοὶ δὲ χρὴ μέλειν ἐπιστολὰς
ἅς σοι πατὴρ ἐφεῖτο, τόνδε πρὸς πέτραις

[Oracle]

Bananiot we do trust you, as the bigot, to tell us a joke ... but your little square boxes are not very funny!

Which "language" are the little square boxes?

[YFred]

Both, just a point thou ancient Greek is not that much different to modern Greek.

Doesn't that suggest the Greeks have not developed culturally from the days sikandra the terrible.

No, you moron!

It indicates that Greek is a superior and highly developed language .... as countless British Classical historians would testify!

We don't have to re-invent ourselves like the redundant Turks!

How can you improve on perfection ... which is the Ancient Greek language

Little square boxes? Get a computer!

Skithin es imon, avaton is erimian.
Ifestem si de chri melin epistolas

I think some time on the psychiatrists chair may be very valuable with your complexes of superiority and all that old girl. It may even be compulsory judging by your state of mind. However I do pity the poor soul that will draw the short straw.

Sooner or later it will be dumped like Latin then.
Or it will have to be written with the European alphabet at least.

Latin has not been "dumped" except in the eyes of illiterates like you ... and as for the "European" alphabet; it is exactly a synchrony of Greek and Latin

Please stop posting here Yfred as you are merely displaying your Turkish ingrained parochialism!

I need some help here Oracle.

We have two languages,

Ancient Greek

and Modern Greek.

There must be a difference to be called 'ancient' and 'modern'. We know they DO differ however slightly, so the language has either 'developed' or 'taken a retro step=backwards. So which is it?

Don't ask such tricky questions, if it was perfect to start with, it can only go one way. I look forward to its eradication from the face of the earth.
What percentage of people talk it? 0.00000000000000000000000000001%?
