(the greek alphabet has been used to write the ‘greek language’ since the ‘late 800s BCE’ or ‘early 700s BCE’)
.
(it was derived from the earlier ‘phoenician alphabet’, and was the first ‘alphabetic script’ to have distinct ‘letters’ for ‘vowels’ as well as ‘consonants’)
(it is the ancestor of the ‘latin’ + ‘cyrillic’ scripts)
(apart from its use in writing the ‘greek language’, in both its ‘ancient’ + its ‘modern’ forms, the ‘greek alphabet’ today also serves as a source of ‘technical symbols’ and labels in many domains of ‘mathematics’ / ‘science’ / ‘other fields’)
In its classical and modern forms, the alphabet has 24 letters, ordered from alpha to omega.
Like Latin and Cyrillic, Greek originally had only a single form of each letter; it developed the letter case distinction between upper-case and lower-case forms in parallel with Latin during the modern era.
Sound values and conventional transcriptions for some of the letters differ between Ancient Greek and Modern Greek usage, because the pronunciation of Greek has changed significantly between the 5th century BC and today.
Modern and Ancient Greek use different diacritics.
.
(the traditional ‘orthography’ – [which is used for ‘ancient greek’ (+ sometimes for ‘modern greek’)] has many ‘dia-critics’…)
*’accent marks’
(for ‘pitch accent’*)
(aka ‘poly-tonic’)
*the ‘breathing marks’*
(for the presence/absence of the initial /h/ sound))
*the ‘iota sub-script’ for the ‘final historical /i/sound’)
.
(in ‘standard modern greek’ spelling, ‘orthography’ has been simplified to the ‘monotonic system’, which uses only 2 ‘diacritics’…)
*the ‘acute accent’*
*the ‘diaeresis’*
