Romeyka as a Window to the Past and Present of Greek-speaking Anatolia (online event; see registration details below)


Romeyka, an endangered Greek variety still spoken in North-East Turkey, has maintained the infinitive, which as such does not exist in Modern Greek. Thanks to the infinitive, we created a chronology of the evolution of Proto-Pontic, to which Romeyka belongs, and identified its split from other Greek varieties as being at least 500 years earlier than previously thought namely, in Hellenistic times, rather than during the medieval period thus putting forward a new phylogeny of Asia Minor Greek.
