What Calabrian Greek sounds like
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2018
- Hearing Calabrian Greek spoken in the villages of Gallicianò and Bova. For those who speak Greek, I didn't find it to be ancient or Doric sounding at all. There are some words that certainly are old ("outhe" for "no", "chloro" for the color green, "anthos" for flower, "platego" for "to speak" which probably comes from "politeuo" (πολιτευω) which means "to act like a citizen/speak in a public forum" etc.). But it basically sounds like Italianized modern Greek with some ancient words.
There appear to be no theta, gamma, or delta sounds evidencing Latin/Italian influence. Anything beginning with a "kappa" is pronounced with a "che" rather than a hard c sound like modern Greek. Hence you hear "che" for "and" instead of kai (και). The "ψ" is inverted. Rather than a "ps" sound in modern Greek, Calabrian Greek say "sp." Hence, the modern Greek word "psyche" (ψυχή) is pronounced "spyche." Also all "chi" ("Χ") and "xi"sounds ("Ξ") seem pronounced like "sh" which is common in modern Italian.
I suspect they speak a dialect more closely related to the Koine Greek spoken at the time of the 11th century Byzantine Empire, the last and final time Southern Italy was still part of the Greek speaking world. Or perhaps it was influenced by Greek refugees fleeing Constantinople upon its fall to the Turks in 1453. What's interesting is that they have no Turkish loan words which modern Greek has such as tzami for "glass" among others (they call it "vitro" which is Italian) which make sense given the Ottomans never conquered the region. Overall, most modern Greek speakers should understand it pretty thoroughly.
Remarkable that these living relics of an ancient past still exist. And would have been more numerous had it not been for strong pressure to Italianize during the time of Italian unification and the rise of fascism under Mussollini. Interestingly, Greek Orthodoxy is making a comeback and the government supports maintaining this highly endangered dialect. Enjoy!

My God, they use the ancient word "ὦδε" instead of "'ἐδῶ" for "here". "Arte" for "now" comes, pobably, from ancient "ἄρτι" ("just now"). Absolutely understandable by a modern Greek. So touching!!!
They obviously didnt lose the contact with Greek proper though. They pretty much speak modern Greek not koine or anything. Just another dialect with some Italian elements. Also it looks like many things have been reintroduced. Anyway I wouldnt trust someone that also speaks standard modern Greek like the man in the video. But anyway. It is fascinating.

Sadly that phrase is being used to kinda shame others who are of other ethnicity and stuff. Although I know the true meaning and it is true that Italians and Greeks are really close. Italian is a language I always wanted to learn and maybe that is the reason.
I am Greek and this man speaking Greek , just made me cry. I would like to dedicate this, to our Italians brothers and cousins:

νῦν ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀγών.
νῦν ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀγών! This is more true today, in 2023 than it ever was in our history before - Majority of us Greeks are outside of Greece, a diaspora unseen and uncounted for, we assimilate into our new countries well, too well, and for our newer generations, many of them half Greek, the language, identity and culture is dying out.
Call me a conspiracist, but there is also an active effort to undermine us (See Netflix´s Celopatra for example, or the desperate efforts and mental gymnastics being done to try to separate us modern Greeks from our ancestors, as if we are not linked both by blood and culturally to our heritage.
And there is no properly organised effort from the Greek state or elsewhere to counter the catastrophy that is unfolding.
Nῦν ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀγών, for there will be no Hellenism left in two generations from now.
As Cypriot I understand everything they said . It’s interesting 🤔 it’s like modern Greek mixed with the Cypriot dialect plus Italian . Great combination! 🇬🇷 🇨🇾 🇮🇹 ♥️
It kind of makes sense if you think about that though. The edges of a cultural influence is where the culture last arrives, and thus stays longer. Probably classical Greek sounded more like this than like modern Greek does (sans the italian accent, of course). A bit like 1500s Castilian probably sounded more like nowadays latin american accents than the spanish spoken today in Spain.
I am also Cypriot, and the Cypriot dialect is closer to ancient Greek that modern Greek

Some of my italian ancestors spoke this language. Greetings from Argentina
Greco italia argentino? Crazy combination
Hei Mano, Magna Grecian for ever , love you
Most Italian immigrants came to Argentina from Cicely. The majority of the inhabitants there are Greeks.
@@rayt2548 Actually the majority of the italian inmigrants came from Veneto and Lombardia. In my case I have ancestors from Calabria and they spoke this language
Moreover Greek speakers are a very small minority even in Sicily
I'm Greek and I just came back from a trip to Sicily and South Italy. The main purpose was that a good friend of mine was getting married to an Italian girl from Calabria, however, I wanted to turn this into a more pleasant experience, so initially, I visited the Sicilian east coast (passed by Catania, Taormina and ended up in Syracusa). I hadn't realized before the footprint of ancient Greek civilization in the area (yeah I had heard about Magna Grecia in school etc), but everywhere you turned there was an ancient monument! In Syracuse there was the museum of Archimedes, and a statue of him on the bridge where you enter the small island of Ortygia from the mainland part of the city. As soon as you enter Ortygia you see the ancient ruins of the temple of Apollo, then Piazza de Archimede,, and then Syracusa Duomo which was built on top of the ancient monument temple of Athina. You see "explore the Greek Syracusa" tours everywhere, big signs/advertisements of ancient tragedy theater plays etc etc. Furthermore, there was the Parco Archeologico of Neapolis, right at the side of the city of Syracusa, where you could visit ancient sites like the "Ear of Dionysius", the tomb of Archimedes, and of course Teatro Greco, a great full-size ancient amphitheater. There was a similar site in Taormina with another Teatro Greco there.
Then I visited mainland Italy, Palmi and Reggio Calabria, and while at the wedding, I was talking to local Italian friends of the couple and they told me there were areas in that region where people were still speaking the Greek language - Griko. They said you should definitely visit, but unfortunately, I didn't get the time. A few days after the catholic wedding, the couple also performed a small orthodox wedding ceremony at a Greek Orthodox nearby church "Chiesa Ortodossa di S.Elia e Filareto". I noticed that the priests there spoke to us in Greek but with an Italian accent.
Then on the way back to Sicily, we stopped by the seaside town of Scilla where the myth says that on the rocks by the Scilla town castle, the six dog-headed monster Scylla lived. The same monster (Σκύλα in Greek) and area is the one that according to Homer, Odysseus encountered on his way back to Ithaca.
Finally, the last couple of days were spent in a seaside hotel near Catania in Sicily again, and as I was relaxing one morning with my daughter by the hotel pool, there was an Italian couple with their two young children next to us. The woman comes up to me and asked where we were from, I said Greece. She then said: “Ha, I knew it, I recognized the words. This is the language that my mother was speaking in the house and the area she grew up in”... Then she explained that they were living in the city of Lecce, and apparently her mother’s house was in a small nearby town which was called….”Calimera”, which literally means “good morning” in Greek!! Actually, I thought she was joking at the time, but I googled it afterwards, and apparently, there really exists such a place!.
So, after this experience, I had to look up for more info on this “Griko” language and I'm glad I found this video!
I am of Calabrian and Sicilian descent. When I had my DNA analyzed, I was surprised and delighted by how much Greek blood I have. I feel blessed to be a part of two ancient and important cultures!

I am from Sardinia. It seems quite a long way from Greece, however, digging in, the links pop up and are still important. It begins with the foundation of the city of Olbia which, according to classical writers, was founded by people from Φώκαια, Modern scholars have always rejected this hypothesis, until a few years ago, during some archaeological excavations, the typically Greek foundation emerged under the Punic city. The Greek city lasted a few decades but the name was preserved throughout the Roman period. After Sardinia it was conquered by the Vandals but reconquered, after about 80 years by Justinian and became a province of the Exarchate of Africa. When the Arabs conquered North Africa, Sardinia remained the only free province. The news on the early Middle Ages in Sardinia are sparse, the Byzantine gold coins disappeared during the eighth century. Probably the last governors sent from Constantinople together with the local aristocracy formed a political entity formally dependent on Constantinople but in fact independent. However, the ties were never completely severed: when in the 10th century the Byzantine Empire once again became an influential power in the Mediterranean, the Sardinian rulers, the IUDICES in Latin, the archons in Greek, restored and rebuilt churches with dedications in Middle Hellenic language, despite the fact that a neo-Latin language had already formed on the island. After yet another attempt at Muslim conquest, thwarted by the fleets of Genoa and Pisa, ties with the Eastern Empire began to become increasingly scarce. The Norman conquest of southern Italy put an end to relations with Constantinople. Despite this, the Sardinian IUDECES continued to use Byzantine symbols in the exercise of their power, the first writings of the Sardinian neo-Latin language were composed with the Greek alphabet and, still today in Sardinia we celebrate Saint Constantinus who, as is known, is a saint for the Orthodox church but not for the Catholic one. In one town, Sedilo, for the occasion, an equestrian competition around the sanctuary dedicated to him takes place, perhaps to celebrate the victory against Maxentius. Finally, returning to the classical era, in central-western Sardinia, there was a city called Neapolis, a clear Greek toponym, in Roman times. Historical sources tell us nothing about the history of this city. The ruins are still called Santa Maria di Nabui, in the local dialect, a clear continuation of the ancient toponym according to the phonetics of the local neo-Latin dialect.
It goes way way further back than that Mauro !!! Olbia by the way = Olvia = Όλβιος = Όλος + Βίος = Holo(Holistic) + Bio which was/is a wish for literally a ''full-life'' (on this realm = Βίος) that would lead to an advancement of the soul into the (after)life (=ζωή in Greek)... this means that life in Olbia must look/feel just like paradise!

Violet, I suppose you are not educated and you probably learn just from the internet.Not the best way.
1.Filothei from the article was a Greek together with many Greeks in Athens.
2. You should understand something: Your ancestors and my ancestors in the byzantine past for 1500 years felt ONE. Noone cared what your roots are.Even Slavs, after 1100 became ONE. We are ALL mixed, as the USA. We, together, were the USA of that era. Orthodox faith was the ONLY importance. But, due to our mistakes, from 1400-1500 we got divided: the ones who remained christian, they come from that old byzantine ONE, they never had connection with Turks and they paid it expensively, even with their blood as martyrs... The ones who became Muslim, they become Turkalbanians... I dont judge your ancestors, it was difficult and painful. Something new, got born in now Albania after 1500. But if you still like to say that you are one race with Greek Byzantine Arvanitas, start from becoming orthodox christian again. It's not about blood. That is mixed everywhere, and all bloods are God's.. It's about faith,culture, different history and way of thinking.

If you really want to hear Greek with an Italian accent, go to the island of Kalymnos and speak with the very elderly. You will hear a delightful sing-songishness in the language. You see, Kalymnos was part of the Dodecanese ( "The12 Islands") under Italian domination until 1948. You can figure out the rest.

“Ego platego”
In (primarily Mexican) Spanish, the verb platicar means to converse. The same phrase would be “yo platico.”
That's interesting. Coincidence?
Tom_Traveler Looked it up! If you believe the following (etimologias.dechile.net/?platicar), it comes from the medieval Latin adjective “platica/platicus,” meaning rudimentary, which in turn is attributed to the Greek work platikós, which the article says is only attested in late versions of Greek with the meaning “extended, drawn out.”
Sean Dixon it’s a universal word used by all Spanish speakers. I’m a native speaker. The meaning is closer to chat than it is to converse because we have a word for converse witches conversar. If you wanna specifically Mexican word for that, I guess you could use the word charlar but it is very much a slang word which platicar is not.

If you wanna specifically Mexican word for that, I guess you could use the word charlar but it is very much a slang word which platicar is not.
There is a Greek word with ancient origin "ΠΛΑΤΙΑΖΩ" (platiazo) which translates to "spread out/extend, my speech". We also have place names like "ΠΛΑΤΑΙΕΣ"(plate es), ancient city. The word "ΠΛΑΤΥΣ" (platis) which must be the root, means "elongated" more or less. (not a professor or anything)

Nope we didnt

Actually, yeah I did. Was searching for cappadocian greek, but I found this instead. Wasn't disappointed.
My parents and family are from Southern Calabria from Provence of Reggio Calabria. I knew that the region they were from, known as Magna Graecia, had a solid Greek history. The cities like Caulonia (Kaulon) and Locri sounded very Greek. The sea of the coast where my family is from is the Ionian Sea. This is the first time that I really get to see and hear the language of such rich culturally and ancient people. I appreciate the language is still kept alive. Thank you for the video!
I am neither Italian nor Greek but just fascinated and delighted at this unique little village that seems to have preserved such an ancient language amd culture!

As an Italian, it makes me happy and proud that your wonderful language and culture still exist in our country!
Magna Grecia 💪💪. Sono Calabrese e spero che il greco di Calabria non muoia mai
I would just remind everybody. Southern Italy was colonized by the greeks, called Magna Grecia. Later after the fall of the Roman Empire, regions like Calabria became part of the "Byzantine empire", which although it had not been fully Hellenized at the time, it kept the regions connected to Greece. Later, especially regions such as Naxos and Crete and the Peloponnese (Santorini being an Italian town) became part of NORTHEN Italian kingdoms until the 16th (with southern Italians kingdoms leaving Greece around 11th), the Italian influence in this regions also mean that greater similarity can be found with Crete (however, Calabrian and Meridional Italic dialects, are completely different from Veneti and Ligurian dialects, as such you can actually find Italic borrowings in Crete that you can''t in this greek dialect).
Leonardo i will agree, and many towns and villages in Peloponnese look like Italian Villages, see Monemvasia, Nafplio, Gytheio etc

This song is around 600 years old !, but in Old Greek only Arvanites, Arberesh and Albanian-speaking people can understand. The song tells the story of how people left Morea towards Magna Grecia, where there were already old colonies. In southern Italy.

Ligurians are not a greek colony pre-dating both Greek and Etrusk, the Ligurians occupied present-day Liguria, Piedmont south of the Po and north-western Tuscany. It is however common opinion that around 2000 BC, the Ligurians occupied a much larger area, comprising a large part of northern western Italy up to all of northern Tuscany north of the Arno, southern France and presumably part of the Iberian peninsula the presence of Ligurian populations is also attested in the Tyrrhenian coasts of central Italy and in the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and Elba (I. According to some scholars, even the reliefs of Mugello and Casentino, in ancient times, were inhabited by tribes of Ligurian shepherds

still today we are a proud people, never fully under the control of the roman empire, Ligurian culture differs a lot from the rest of italy up untill today

Новороссия he speaks Greek I understand everything he said it's just with accent and more old Ancient Greek but we speak and use them to . South Italy 80% are Greek people who forced to stop speaking the Greek language and eventually they forgot that they are Greek
@@zeus756 nah, only the coastal cities were greek: inland was always inhabited by pre-greek italic people.
@@zeus756 I have origins in Calabria, but my DNA has almost 0 Greek DNA, which is odd. I thought it would be at least 30-40%
@@zeus756 Not true at all, in fact Italian historians tells us that the south of Italy was made of a large proportion of Ilirian tribe that migrated from proper Albania. They were called the Messapi people. Not my opinion, but the Italian, French and Austrian historians.

There is a reason why we shed tears watching our Italian brothers die during the past month from covid-19. The trucks were riding out with a whole generation of Italian people and Greek people cried in their kitchens watching. Σας αγαπάμε πολύ! Κουράγιο Ιταλία! Κουράγιο και δύναμη σε όλον τον κόσμο
That happened in northern Italy. Calabria is the least infected region in the whole country (by number of confirmed cases per capita), located in the south.
@@TS1336 I didn't in fact say that calabria or southern italy was severely affected, I simply said our countries are neighbors and we were sad to see how the country was affected. Does it matter whether the south had few cases or not, when so many people are suffering? All over the world? I talked about courage and love and you were like no we were the least affected. My God.
@@bollocksnlilies it does matter when you consider that past Italian history has pretty much been monopolized by northern regions being racist towards us Calabrians of Magna Graecia. We are the ones related to the Greek and Greece, they're not.
We respect them for the huge losses they're experimenting right now but they've done very bad things to us in the past.
Italy is more divided than you'd think.
@@TS1336 yes I have been taught history and I know the same goes with certain regions of Spain. But this is about humanity. A prayer for courage and love is for humanity. Personally, this is my prayer and wish for everyone breathing. It has nothing to do with ethnicity race or social background. I am not going to have positive thoughts only about people I like or I am similar with... it doesn't work that way.
@@bollocksnlilies agreed :-)
Hello from Cyprus. Really loved the video you made. So proud of these greek communities in Italy. And what a joy to see the 2 flags, the Greek and Cypriot flag. The dialect is beautiful. Its like hearing the Cypriot dialect with an Italian flavour
It is beautiful to see people preserving the culture of their forefathers.
What I heard was a mix of classic and modern Greek, with a pinch of Italian, mainly the accent and a few latin words, and some pronunciation from southern Greece, like Cretan tsekism (the "che" instead of "ke" and the "sh" pronunciation instead of "χ" on the word "cherome" (χαίρομαι)).
It was an amazing and interesting dialect.
As Greeks we owe a huge thanks to all Italians who let these quite and humble villagers to do their living throughout the centuries.
I doubt if these villages could survive in peace if they where in any other neighbouring to Greece country.
Let's both countries keep it up!
Peace brothers

These people have faced incredible difficulties just like the Greeks of northern Epirus thanks to the Italians. We are not on such friendly terms with Italy as you would like to believe.
@@Vjeimy I completely underestant what your saying.....But if we nit pick all these injustices with historical confrontations, finding is identification with the ‘other’, and that rather than invoking emotions in the ingroup or subgroup. Most current debates about forgiveness start from an unquestioned assumption: namely, that forgiveness is the morally superior sentiment; resentment is atavistic, archaic, leading to revenge and renewed cycles of violence. On the one hand, uttering the truth about historical injustices and doing this in conjunction with the former enemy will set us free. Lets forgive but nor forget....lets educate and learn., Cheers
Coming from the Ionian the Italian influence is massive because of the Venetians and the people that live there have a lot of Italian in their dialect. Greetings to my Italian brothers

its mad the influence the Greeks had on southern Italy my family are Italian from Campania and I done a DNA test and got 58% Greek and southern Italian.
I'm Greek from Crete and a DNA tested showed that im 32% Italian from Calabria (41% Greek)Couldn't believe it, turns out we both influenced each other 😂 🇮🇹🇬🇷.
Apparently my Greek/south Italian ancestors lived in Calabria for a good 200 years (1500-1700) and then migrated to Peloponnese (then all around the world) Kithira a few decades later and finally settling in Chania and central Crete. I've always been told that my surname is from chania so the DNA test and ancestors movement is right.

The Greeks even brought their own rocks from Greece it looks like.
it is Greece Adam , you don't understand ... the whole of every watertouching country in the mediterranean and black sea is full of Greek settlements (later cities) since the late Paleolithic ... gosh they even gave the era a Greek name
I am Cypriot and I can see clearly now why on the recent DNA tests the Haplogroup palette of Cypriots match more with south Italians than mainland Greeks. The resemblance of the dialects and even the rhythm of the accents is astonishing. Still, I feel obliged to mention that Griko does not trace its roots directly from archaic or classical Greek but from Koine. That's because of the Eastern Roman Empire, the empire, which survived for 1000 years, had for a very long time south Italy and Sicily as a part of it. So the Greek language continuum evolved like any other part of Hellenism, except of course Tsakonian(Lakonian). I think your next destination should be Cyprus so we can observe our dialect from a better point of view(provided that your video will be a little bit more informative) :P :D
I would love to
@Genarxhs Iapetos Όλες οι σύγχρονες διαλέκτοι έχουν διατηρήσει αρχαϊκά και κλασσικά χαρακτηριστικά, το ότι αυτή η διάλεκτος έχει περάσει ,αναπόσπαστα από την ελληνική γλώσσα, την εξέλιξη της μέχρι την κοινή ελληνική και μετά και φέρει το μεγαλύτερο πλήθος λέξεων της από την κοινή, δηλαδή έχει υποστεί την σοβαρότερη μεταμόρφωση και διαφοροποίηση της καθ'αυτήν την περίοδο, θεωρείται ότι βρίσκει τις ρίζες της από την ελληνιστική εποχή, χωρίς αυτό να σημαίνει ότι δεν προϋπήρχε. Ίσως να φαίνεται περισσότερο εδώ για τον λόγο που προανέφερες.
Δεν έχουν γίνει σοβαρές μελέτες στην Ελλάδα (για τις απλοομάδες κτλ).
Εγώ διαφωνώ σε αυτό που λες, ότι ο ρυθμός και η προφορά μοιάζει τα κυπριακά. Ο κύριος αυτός έχεις ξεκάθαρα ιταλική προφορά. Είναι δηλαδή σαν να μιλάει ελληνικά αλλά με ιταλική προφορά. Έχει διατηρηθεί ανέπαφη η γλώσσα μας σαν γραμματική, λεξιλόγιο κτλ, αλλά η προφορά δε νομίζω ότι διατηρήθηκε.

Truly as a Greek, it is very interesting and quite moving to discover about these almost forgotten Greek communities which have existed for at least 2500 years now resisting the challenge of time and change.
I come from Cyprus(eastern mediterannean)and despite the great distance I can really relate myself to these people together with their customs and ancient accents.
Not only do you realize the profound impact and the boundless limits of the Greco-Roman world but also the very richness and diversity of this ancient but stil magnificent civilization.
Byzantium(last Greco-roman Empire)also had a strong presence in Italy especially in Venice and Ravenna which is not a distant memory til today.
