A talk on the restored classical Attic Greek pronunciation by the Joint Association of Classical Teachers. Uploaded for autodidactic purposes.
There seems to be a lot of difference in opinion on what Ancient Greek sounded like and how we should pronounce it today. Being both an ancient and a living language there are many possibilities based upon whichever time or place we choose to focus. One is at liberty to recognise the legitimacy of various ways to speak Greek and when sat with a classical text reading aloud one can alternate as one likes. However when making a recording choices have to be made. I myself have chosen not to worry too much about which pronunciation I am using as long as I try to remain consistent throughout a piece. We sometimes just have to just pick one method and get on with the task of recital, otherwise we will never get started.
Hence you will hear differences between the way I pronounce Greek in my own recordings and those suggested here by Jact. For instance I would pronounce χαλεπός as "kalipos" instead of "halipos" as in modern Greek, yet φιλοσοφία as "filosofia" instead of the Attic "pilosopia" as suggested by Jact. This is an inconsistency on my part and when I recite to myself at home I may say it either way, but for recordings I will try in future to use one method or the other.
Not being a native Greek my pronunciation will always be conditioned by an English accent as here with Jact's Cambridge Greek. A native Greek will always sound more "authentic" even if they use modern pronunciation over that of the "restored" pronunciation of antiquity used here. I may or may not start to use more restored pronunciation myself in future recordings.

I created this as an experiment to see if I could make learning ancient Greek more entertaining. I also wanted to see if I could keep the grammar "in the background," an approach used for modern languages but almost never for classical Greek or Latin.
The target level is beginners who have covered only a few chapters in any ancient Greek beginners' book. The first part is just a reading of the short story word for word, with the English translation given immediately after each Greek word. Except for one note, the grammar is all visual during the story reading and translation. Following the story are slides with all the grammar you need to understand this Greek story.
If you have any ideas for my next video let me know, εἰ δοκεῖ. χαῖρε!

Ancient Greek Lesson 1 The Ancient Greek Alphabet
O A P X A I O Σ E Λ Λ H N I K O Σ A Λ Φ A B H T O Σ
[hŏ ārkaīŏs hēllēnĭkŏs ālphăbētŏs]
The Ancient Greek Alphabet has twenty seven letters:
Α = Α Λ Φ A = [ālphă] = [ă], [ā]
Β = B H T A = [bētă] = [b]
Γ = Γ A M M A = [gāmmă] = [ɡ], [n]
Δ = Δ E Λ T A = [dēltă] = [d] 1
Ϝ = Δ I G A M M A = [dĭgāmmă] = [w]
Ε = E Ψ I Λ O N = [ēpsĭlŏn] = [ĕ] 2
Ζ = Z H T A = [zētă] = [dz]
Η = H T A = [hētă] = [ē]
Θ = Θ H T A = [thētă] = [θ]
Ι = I Ω T A = [iōtă] = [ĭ],[ī]
Κ = K A Π Π A = [kāppă] = [k]
Λ = Λ A B Δ A = [lābdă] = [l]
Μ = M Y = [mū] = [m]

Χ = X E I = [kheī] [kh]
Ψ = Ψ E I = [pseī] = [ps]
Ω = Ω M E Γ A = [ōmĕgă] = [ō]
Language notes:
1. Lowercases and diacritics didn't exist. They came much letter with the lowercases to help foreigners who wanted to lear Greek.
2. Ancient Greek is written with uppercases from left to right and from upside down.
3. The letter F called digamma was used in Attic and Ionic Greek. It had the sound of /w/ and stood between the E and Z. It is an obsolete letter.
The letters Ϙ koppa and Ϻ san were alternative forms of writing sigma. They were also obsolete letters.
4. The vowels E epsilon and O omikron are short. The vowels H heta and Ω omega are long. The vowels A, I and Y are short in some words and long in others.A short vowel can be long by position. Likewise, a long vowel can also be short by position. A vowel before two consonants are long.
5. A short vowel is denoted by the sign of B P A X I Ω N [brăkhĭŏn] ''bracchium" ( ˘ ) over the vowel. A long vowel is denoted by the sign of M A K P O N [mākrŏn] ''macron'' over the vowel ( ¯ ). The mark of the length and the diacritics are omitted in Ancient Greek.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxQCf6eaToI
The second video in the series. I decided to focus on Indo-European languages for this one.
Featuring (in chronological order): Old Church Slavonic, Old Irish, Gothic, Classical Latin, Ancient (Attic) Greek, Avestan, and the (hypothetical, but very probable) common ancestor of all these ancient languages, Proto-Indo-European.
Info on the languages:
Old Church Slavonic (or Slověnĭskŭ Językŭ, its endonym) was the first Slavic literary language, used from the ninth to eleventh century before splitting into the Church Slavonic languages. It is the oldest attested Slavic languages.
Old Irish (or Goídelc), used from the fifth to ninth centuries, was an early celtic language. It had particularly complex grammar and phonological systems, and is the ancestor of Modern Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx.
Gothic, an early East Germanic language, was used from the fourth to eighth centuries. It is the best attested East Germanic language and is important to the reconstruction of Proto-Germanic and PIE.
Classical Latin was the standard language of the Roman Empire from 75 B.C. to the 3rd century A.D., as opposed to Vulgar Latin, the "speech of the masses." Vulgar Latin was the ancestor of the Romance languages.
Attic Greek is a dialect of Ancient Greek used from 750 B.C. to the 3rd century B.C., when it was replaced by Koine (Common) Greek.
Avestan was an Iranian language spoken from the late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age, and is the earliest attested Indo-Iranian language. It is closely related to Vedic Sanskrit, the earliest attested Indo-Iranian language.
Proto-Indo-European is the unattested, yet highly supported common ancestor of all Indo-European languages, including Hellenic (including Greek), Italic (including Latin and the Romance languages), Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and the Indo-Iranian languages. There are about 439 Indo-European languages, with almost three billion native speakers, by far the most of any widely recognized language family. The most accepted hypothesis places it spoken in the Pontic steppe, about six thousand years ago, although estimates vary greatly.

Stuff used:
Recorded on an iPhone 4s, audio edited in Logic Pro 9, pictures made in Gimp, video made in iMovie.
****DISCLAIMER****
As all these languages are extinct and only attested through text, pronunciations are approximate. It is unlikely that any language in the video sounded exactly as I said it, but I am also likely not far from how they actually sounded (except for maybe PIE).
Thanks for watching, and keep your eyes open for another of these videos! Tell me what you think in the comments and suggest languages I should do!

Extinct Languages Spoken 2 - Old Church Slavonic, Classical Latin, Ancient (Attic) Greek, and more
Watch the previous video (containing Ubykh, Old English, Proto-Germanic, and more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxQCf6eaToI The second video in the series. I decided to focus on Indo-European languages for this one.

A talk on the restored classical Attic Greek pronunciation by the Joint Association of Classical Teachers. Uploaded for autodidactic purposes.
There seems to be a lot of difference in opinion on what Ancient Greek sounded like and how we should pronounce it today. Being both an ancient and a living language there are many possibilities based upon whichever time or place we choose to focus. One is at liberty to recognise the legitimacy of various ways to speak Greek and when sat with a classical text reading aloud one can alternate as one likes. However when making a recording choices have to be made. I myself have chosen not to worry too much about which pronunciation I am using as long as I try to remain consistent throughout a piece. We sometimes just have to just pick one method and get on with the task of recital, otherwise we will never get started.
Hence you will hear differences between the way I pronounce Greek in my own recordings and those suggested here by Jact. For instance I would pronounce χαλεπός as "kalipos" instead of "halipos" as in modern Greek, yet φιλοσοφία as "filosofia" instead of the Attic "pilosopia" as suggested by Jact. This is an inconsistency on my part and when I recite to myself at home I may say it either way, but for recordings I will try in future to use one method or the other.
Not being a native Greek my pronunciation will always be conditioned by an English accent as here with Jact's Cambridge Greek. A native Greek will always sound more "authentic" even if they use modern pronunciation over that of the "restored" pronunciation of antiquity used here. I may or may not start to use more restored pronunciation myself in future recordings.

I created this as an experiment to see if I could make learning ancient Greek more entertaining. I also wanted to see if I could keep the grammar "in the background," an approach used for modern languages but almost never for classical Greek or Latin.
The target level is beginners who have covered only a few chapters in any ancient Greek beginners' book. The first part is just a reading of the short story word for word, with the English translation given immediately after each Greek word. Except for one note, the grammar is all visual during the story reading and translation. Following the story are slides with all the grammar you need to understand this Greek story.
If you have any ideas for my next video let me know, εἰ δοκεῖ. χαῖρε!

O A P X A I O Σ E Λ Λ H N I K O Σ A Λ Φ A B H T O Σ
[hŏ ārkaīŏs hēllēnĭkŏs ālphăbētŏs]
The Ancient Greek Alphabet has twenty seven letters:
Α = Α Λ Φ A = [ālphă] = [ă], [ā]
Β = B H T A = [bētă] = [b]
Γ = Γ A M M A = [gāmmă] = [ɡ], [n]
Δ = Δ E Λ T A = [dēltă] = [d] 1
Ϝ = Δ I G A M M A = [dĭgāmmă] = [w]
Ε = E Ψ I Λ O N = [ēpsĭlŏn] = [ĕ] 2
Ζ = Z H T A = [zētă] = [dz]
Η = H T A = [hētă] = [ē]
Θ = Θ H T A = [thētă] = [θ]
Ι = I Ω T A = [iōtă] = [ĭ],[ī]
Κ = K A Π Π A = [kāppă] = [k]
Λ = Λ A B Δ A = [lābdă] = [l]

Π = Π E I = [peī] = [p]
Ϻ = Σ A N = [săn] = [s]
Ϙ = K O Π Π A = [kōppa] = [k] 3
Ρ = Ρ Ω = [rhō] = [rh], [r]
Σ = Σ I Γ M A = [sīgmă] = [s]

Χ = X E I = [kheī] [kh]
Ψ = Ψ E I = [pseī] = [ps]
Ω = Ω M E Γ A = [ōmĕgă] = [ō]
Language notes:
1. Lowercases and diacritics didn't exist. They came much letter with the lowercases to help foreigners who wanted to lear Greek.
2. Ancient Greek is written with uppercases from left to right and from upside down.
3. The letter F called digamma was used in Attic and Ionic Greek. It had the sound of /w/ and stood between the E and Z. It is an obsolete letter.
The letters Ϙ koppa and Ϻ san were alternative forms of writing sigma. They were also obsolete letters.
4. The vowels E epsilon and O omikron are short. The vowels H heta and Ω omega are long. The vowels A, I and Y are short in some words and long in others.A short vowel can be long by position. Likewise, a long vowel can also be short by position. A vowel before two consonants are long.
5. A short vowel is denoted by the sign of B P A X I Ω N [brăkhĭŏn] ''bracchium" ( ˘ ) over the vowel. A long vowel is denoted by the sign of M A K P O N [mākrŏn] ''macron'' over the vowel ( ¯ ). The mark of the length and the diacritics are omitted in Ancient Greek.

The second video in the series. I decided to focus on Indo-European languages for this one.
Featuring (in chronological order): Old Church Slavonic, Old Irish, Gothic, Classical Latin, Ancient (Attic) Greek, Avestan, and the (hypothetical, but very probable) common ancestor of all these ancient languages, Proto-Indo-European.
Info on the languages:
Old Church Slavonic (or Slověnĭskŭ Językŭ, its endonym) was the first Slavic literary language, used from the ninth to eleventh century before splitting into the Church Slavonic languages. It is the oldest attested Slavic languages.
Old Irish (or Goídelc), used from the fifth to ninth centuries, was an early celtic language. It had particularly complex grammar and phonological systems, and is the ancestor of Modern Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx.
Gothic, an early East Germanic language, was used from the fourth to eighth centuries. It is the best attested East Germanic language and is important to the reconstruction of Proto-Germanic and PIE.
Classical Latin was the standard language of the Roman Empire from 75 B.C. to the 3rd century A.D., as opposed to Vulgar Latin, the "speech of the masses." Vulgar Latin was the ancestor of the Romance languages.
Attic Greek is a dialect of Ancient Greek used from 750 B.C. to the 3rd century B.C., when it was replaced by Koine (Common) Greek.
Avestan was an Iranian language spoken from the late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age, and is the earliest attested Indo-Iranian language. It is closely related to Vedic Sanskrit, the earliest attested Indo-Iranian language.
Proto-Indo-European is the unattested, yet highly supported common ancestor of all Indo-European languages, including Hellenic (including Greek), Italic (including Latin and the Romance languages), Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, and the Indo-Iranian languages. There are about 439 Indo-European languages, with almost three billion native speakers, by far the most of any widely recognized language family. The most accepted hypothesis places it spoken in the Pontic steppe, about six thousand years ago, although estimates vary greatly.
Texts used:
Old Church Slavonic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Church_Slavonic#Example_text

Stuff used:
Recorded on an iPhone 4s, audio edited in Logic Pro 9, pictures made in Gimp, video made in iMovie.
****DISCLAIMER****
As all these languages are extinct and only attested through text, pronunciations are approximate. It is unlikely that any language in the video sounded exactly as I said it, but I am also likely not far from how they actually sounded (except for maybe PIE).
Thanks for watching, and keep your eyes open for another of these videos! Tell me what you think in the comments and suggest languages I should do!
