Compare two dialects of Greek side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.
Italiot Greek · Salentino Greek
The Greek of southern Italy, spoken in two enclaves in Salento and Calabria. A direct descendant of the Magna Graecia varieties; one of the oldest continuously-spoken Greek varieties outside Greece.
Demotic Greek
The Athens-based standard of modern Greek, derived from the Demotic vernacular and codified in the late 20th century.
