Greece has several distinct dialects, primarily categorized into three main groups: Ancient Greek, Modern Greek, and regional dialects. Ancient Greek includes dialects like Attic, spoken in Athens, and Doric, found in the Peloponnese and other areas. Each dialect has unique features in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Modern Greek has evolved from these ancient forms and is spoken today across Greece and Cyprus. Within Modern Greek, there are regional variations, such as the Cretan and Pontic dialects, which reflect local history and culture. These dialects contribute to the rich linguistic diversity of Greece.
