S PREFACE.
MY very hearty thanksare due to all who have so kindly helped
me in my slight task. F irst I must thank Mr. VVied, and take
the opportunity to ask his pardon for the amount of alteration
and rearrangement of his tex t which I have found it impossible
to avoid . Mr. Legrand has also my gratitude and thanks f or
his invaluable dictionaries— French-Greek, and Greek- French ;
their ample information and clear arrangement were a great
help.
To Mr. Noelof Euboea. I am indebted for his kindness in
putting an ex tensive knowledge o f the vern acular idioms to use
in looking over and correcting those cited, and to Mr. William
Loring for similar help with the vocabulary while Dr. Walter
Leaf has completed the tale of my indebtedness by looking over
the proofs. Others who have helped me I n eed not mention by
n ame but it is not out of place to acknowledge here my thanks
to my husband , Mr . Ernest Gardner, to whose constant helpalone the book owes its ex istence.
I hape that the book will be useful to all who visit Greece
I should have been glad of something of the sort myself some
years ago.

PREFACE.
IT ishoped that this translation of a Grammar of the Modern
Greek or Romaic language, as it is spoken in the Levant, will
supply a need in England. The condition of the languagepresents in n umerable difficulties even to Greeks themselves,much more therefore to foreigners who would learn to speak andreadModern Greek. A nd the absence of any fix ed and recog
n ised standard of grammatical accuracy, of accidence, of syntax ,
of vocabulary,or of style, hasled many to make the assertion
that there is no such thing as a Modern Greek language at all.
Strange to say, it is among the Greeks themselves that thisassertion has foun d the strongest supporters. Their method is
to ignore theModern Greek or Romaic tongue as dialectical an dhybrid, and to fix on some arbitrary standard of past times, say
the Greek of the New Testament or even of Xenophon they
admit indeed that the future, the infin itive, and perhaps thedative, have fallen out of use ; but even these they are anx iousto restore, and, with these ex ceptions, they would make a prof essedly Modern Greek Grammar identical, to all intents an d
purposes, with a grammar of the Ancient Greek man}. And it
must be admitted that many newspapers and booksare publishedin Greece which are in telligible to any scholar who is familiarwith An cient Greek, and has learnt some few idioms and periphrases which even the strictest imitators of Classical Greek
viii PREFACE.
find indispensable inmodern usage. For the student who wishes
to learn this artificial language the present Grammar is n ot
intended. But he must not imagin e that he will find his
knowledge of much use to him in travelling in Greece, or in anyother part of the Levan t. He may be able to converse with an
educated A thenian who has learnt this same artificialtongue
and who is sure also to be able to speak French, Italian, or
English. But with shopkeepers and servants, muleteers, boatmen ,
an d peasants— all indeed with whomhe will wish to speak
in his travels outside the pale of European languages and
civilisation, he will find himself quite un able to commun icate.
This Grammar, on the other hand, endeavours to teach ModernGreek as it is spoken by the common people. The attempt is a
difficult on e there is, as has been said , no fix ed standard,o f
correctness, and the dialectical variation from place to place is
considerable. But a peasant of the Morea would not really
have a difficulty in making himself understood if he found
himself in Smyrna or Cyprus, though his speech and pronunciation might seempeculiar and if this book can give some
n otion of the common and living basiswhich underliesthe wholespoken tongue of Greece, it will n ot be useless. Doubtless the
student willnotice small variations fromthe forms or rules herelaid down in almost any placewhere hemay fin dhimself but theswill seldomprevent himfrombein g understood when he speaks, o rfromrecognising themeanin g of what he hears. Thus, if he re
quires the simplest necessaries of life , say bread and w ine, thewords npwm
’ and kpam’ will fin d them for himwherever there are
Greeks to hear but the ancien t wordsdpf osand oIvos, which he willfind in some books and n ewspapers, will certainlynot be understood, even though he may ask in an A thenian shop with dp-

arity with An cient Greek, and are an x ious to learn the modernlanguage either for the sake of facility in travelling, or frominterest in the historical development of the language and its
modern literature. At the same time no kn ow ledge ofA n cient Greek isassumed ex cept in dealing w ith forms, usages, oridioms which properly belong to the classical language. Thusthe Grammar may be used also by those who , w ithout a previouskn owledge of An cient Greek, wish to acquire a practical acquaintance with the modern tongue.
A f ew wordsmay be added as to the relation of the study of
A ncient and Modern Greek. It has sometimes been assertedthat a conversational acquain tan ce w ith Modern Greek would beusefulas a basis for the acquisition of Classical Greek, or at
least as a help to its study. But it must in the first place beremembered that by Modern Greek those who adopt this viewdo not mean the lan guage as spoken by the common people,but that artificialsemi- classical dialect written by some, andspoken by a few . Still, even this dialect might be taught. But
the fact is that the whole tendency of Modern Greek is so
difieren t from that of Ancient that it is much to be doubtedwhether a knowledge of o ne would greatly

facilitate the
acquisition of the other. Modern Greek, with its compoundtenses and resolved cases, is an analytical language just as
English is. A nd even those who are most carefu l in the selec
tion of a purely classical vocabulary can not escape the influen ceof French and German idioms, which destroy the character of
the language, and are most difficult to avoid if on ce becomefamiliar. Thus there is little left of that ex quisite]y perfect
inflex ion al in strumen t of ex pression , the A ncien t Greek lan
guage and the intellectual training ofiered by its accurate and
scien tific acquisition completely disappears, if it be taught
merely as an analytical language in a transitional stage : to thestudent of the history of language such a stage is most in ter

esting and instructive .but not so to a beginner whose min d isto be trained in a n ew and accurate method of ex pression.
The future of the Greek language will be watched with the
utmost in terest it is ex posed to most serious dan ger for thereis some doubt whether it is strong enough to survive the attemptat a classical and artificialrenovation that is now being madean attempt not only to reject all words of foreign origin , but to
return to the accidence and the idiom of classical times. Such
a rude amputation of the ‘ growth of 2000 years can not safely
be performed. Should the advocates of classical revival attain
their object in Greece, then Greeks will cease to be mutuallyintelligible throughout the Levant, ex cept in an artificially
constructed dialect and no people has ever yet consciouslyinven ted a language, or restored a dead on e to the life of popular
speech, after it had followed the ordinary course of decay and ana
lyticalregeneration which has produced nearly allthe lan guages
spoken in Europe at the present day. Many of the best edu
cated Greeks are fully aware that any reform and purification of
the Romaic tongue must start fromthe language now learn t bythe people at their mother’s knee, and enrich its vocabularywithout altering its essential n ature and it is to be hoped thatthe more moderate counsels of this body may prevailover therash ex periment of the ex treme purists.
The analogy of another language that has passed through the
same stage is instructive. I n the days of Dante there weremany purists who despised the vulgar tongue of Italy, an d
thought that ancient Latin was the only language fit for an
educated man to speak or write. Had not the monumenta lwork of the great F lorentine at once raised the vernacular to a
literary language,it is even possible that a frigid pseudo- classica l
Latin might have first strangled the popular tongue and thendied a natural death. In Greece there are many songs an d
ballads, and even some prose workswritten in the 'true language

o f the people ; and the influence of all is needed to strengthen
that language in the dangers it is n ow passing through. There
are already man y indications that the popular tongue is beginning to prevail in the struggle. If its development, which hasbeen retarded during the last fifty years by the classical mania,be once again allowed its free course, there is little doubt that
it w ill be very rapid ; Modern Greek only requires a littleorganisation and academic ackn ow ledgmen t on the part ofeducated Greeks to take its due place among the analytical
modern languages of Europe and then its position will be
un ique, hearing as it does almost the same relation to AncientGreek which the Romance languages bear to Latin .
The difficult question of pronunciation cann ot here be entirelypassed over, especially as those who advocate learning Ancient
Greek by mean s of Modern often assert the identity of pron unciation between the two. In the pronunciation of consonantsthe divergen ce in principle is n o t so great, though the weakeningand assimilation that has taken place in Modern Greek in volvesco nsiderable changes, an d is very con fusing to a learner, whene.g. he fin dshemust pronounce Be

recogn ises in the modern Sévnoo (tree) a familiar word, of whichthe first 8 is a soft th, while the secon d has only saved its soun dby changing itswritten symbol . But it istwo po in ts chiefly thatare matters of con troversy the pron un ciation of vowels an d
the pronun ciation a ccording to accent .
That any should seriously assert that the Modern Greek
pronunciation of vowels, in which 17, t, v, a , on, m, are allabso
lutely iden tical in soun d, is the same as the Ancient Greek
pron unciation , may seem in credible to any English scholar yet
this system, for A n cien t Greek , is actually upheld as correct bymany Greeks and some Englishmen, so that it may n ot be superfluous to n ote w e or two arguments on the other side. First, as

17;c (Which may be transliterated 00

Greek in this form is a language likely to be tolerated by a
peoplewith a keen appreciation for beauty then, as to ambiguity,is it probable that there was no distinction in pronunciation
between the first and second person plural of the pronoun, that
we and you were identical ? Yet according to the modernpronunciation and are both eemeéss. But the
unanswerable argumen t is this if there were no distinctions inpronunciation, how did distinctions in spellingarise, and how werethey preserved ? Any studen t of early inscriptions knows that
the Greeks, by a gradual and tentative process, adopted thePhoenician symbo ls to ex press their speech , not ac cording to
philological rules of derivation , but according to the sound an d
each dialect adapted the characters to ex press the sound it used
some dialectsdenoted ou by 0 ,others by OY,
according to the
breadth of their pronun ciation . Yet there is not a shadow o f
epigraphical evidence for any general con fusion, during the
classical period, between the difierent symbols used to denotethe sounds which in Modern Greek have become identical. 8 0
soon as the confusion began in speech, it penetrated also into
writing , as was in evitable ; thus x ac’
is often written KE after
the third century A .D. , and locally a little earlier. Thatthis confusion did take place at this period, and n ot before, inwriting may be taken as an unanswerable proof that it did n o t
ex ist before in speech. Yet, strange to say, this very fact isquoted by some to prove that in classical timesthe pronunciatio nwas confused. Which is the true in ference may fairly be left tothe decision of any unprejudiced reader. On the other han d cc.
and c, which must always have been similar sounds, are confusedin writing in Boeotia and sometimes even in A ttica as early as
the fourth century That a similar confusion does not occur
PREFACE.
in other sounds that have since become identical, ex cept in a fewlate or dialecticalinscriptions in which the beginnin g of this
tendency can be seen, is a suflicien t proof that in the commonGreek of the best period no such confusion ex isted.
We English are at a disadvantage in discussing this matter,because the system n ow used in our schools and universitiesis obviously incorrect, in substituting our thin Englishvowel scale of a e i for the broader sounds almost un iversal
among other lan guages (it would be a simple changeto pronounce a always as in father, and so on). £ut
even in spite of this drawback, we do at least preserve the
distinction between the difieren t vowels,and keep their relative
values appro x imamcorrect ; and therefore our pronunciation,even without reform, is superior to on e which sinksallthe vowels
to e while a slight reformwould bring our systemvery near tocorrectness by restoring the true Erasmian pronunciation.
When we approach the question of pronunciation by accent,we are on more delicate ground for here the practice of manyf oreign scholars is w ith the modern Greeks against us. And we
must at once ackn owledge that it is our English practice to
ign ore the accentsaltogether in speech, so that they become purely
c onventionalsigns, and a vex ation of spirit to the learner and
even sometimes to the advanced student of Ancien t Greek .
That a familiarity with Modern Greek pronunciation would be a
great help in this respect cannot be denied but whether this
pronunciation afiords a true indication of classical usage is
quite another question. Whether the accent in Ancient Greekwasa pitch accent, or of some other nature not easy for modernears to detect and follow, 1 8 a difiicult and complicated questionwhich cannot here be discussed. But there are very clear indi
cations that it was not in classical times a stress accent, such as
that now used in Modern Greek and Modern English. Wherethere is a fix ed system of stress accents, the long and short

The evidence of poetry seems conclusive o n this matter. If

guishable fromprose an d in reading A n cien t Greek poetry theorder of the wordsmay be an d is often in verted by a ModernGreek w ithout an y discomfort either to reader or to hearer .
The fact is, that as soon as a stress accent becomes predominan tin pron un ciation , all scan sion of verse must be by that and thatalone, as it is in English and in Modern Greek ; an d as it cameto be in Greek when this chan ge had taken place. A nd therefore, in Byz an tin e writers
,as in Modern Greek, accen t alon e

can be scan n ed as verse. That all classical poetry was scannedby an arbitrary system,
which had n o relation to the actual
pronunciation of the language, is surely a paradox which is n o t
worth discussing. And this certainly would have been the casé ,if the pron un ciation of the accen ted syllable ln A ncient Greek
was similar to that heard in Modern Greek speech.
Thusmuch has been said upon some points of controversy ,because they are usually raised by the advocatesof the advantageof learning Modern Greek and by puttin g this study upon a
false footing, they either attract studen ts for mistaken reaso n s,
or repel them by assertions which a classical scholar w ill resen t .
Now apart from these erron eous con sideration s, Modern Greek isof the greatest utility an d in terest and in itspresen t developed

Ou the other hand, to have remained 2000 years without chan ge

or development in grammar or pronunciation ,as some imagine
to be the case with Modern Greek, would be a proof of deathrather than of vitality in a language.
Nothing could be more arbitrary than the distinctionmade bysome of the purists in Greece, who apparently defin e developmentor improvement as a change which took place in the classicalage or in the present century,
’ and corruption as a changewhich took place during mediaeval times.
’
It may not be superfluous to add a few words, froma practicalpoint of view, as to the utility of a kn owledge of An cient Greek
in learning the Modern language . It is obvious that such
knowledgemust be a very great help, an d is indeed indispensablefor a thorough and scien tific study of the Romaic tongue. Yet,
paradox ical as it may seem, I have known several in stances inwhich those who started without any knowledge of Ancient
Greek'
made even more rapid progress at first than others who
enjoyed the same facilities for learn ing, and a knowledge of
the A ncient language as well. No r do I believe this result to
have been due entirely to acciden t. Often, while the classical
studen t is ransacking hismemory for the ancien t word or idiomwhich seems to himmost simple or most likely to survive, or
while he is trying to fit the sounds he hears into the spelling of
some ancient form,his apparently less well-equipped companion
w ill have learn t or recognised the word commonly used by thepeople he is among. To make quick progress in first beginningModern Greek two things are n ecessary— first, to learn it by ear
and not by eye otherwise the confusing spelling an d the variety
of symbols that may denote on e soun d will make it almostimpossible to recognise at first any spoken word and secondly ,to forget, until the most familiar words and idiomsaremastered ,that any such language as classical Greek ex ists. In a short
time, of course, those who are familiar with classical Greek willfind their knowledge invaluable for enlarging their vocabulary

and for ex plaining usages— n ot to speak of reading books and
newspapers. But it must be borne in mind that all dialectsnowin use for any purpose vary between the two ex tremesof classicalGreek and the Romaic o f popular speech and that anybody whoknows both will nud he can by the help of hisknowledge under
stand any compromise or mix ture that he may come acrosswhile if he learns only what is itself a compromise, he is alwaysliable to meet some new dialect constructed on difieren t lin es or
compounded in difieren t proportions.
It is impossible to find any Modern Greek which can be set up
as a universally recogn ised standard ; but the classical scholarwho has learnt the true spoken tongue need n ever be unable to
ex plain any of the phenomena he may meet, or to understand
and make himself understood in any written or Spoken dialectwhich hemay have occasion to use.
