A few years ago a greek television station interviewed a number of phanariotoi greeks. They definately spoke in a slight dialect not exactly how you would hear it spoken in Greece. It wasnt an accent but it sounded like it would have been from a different era.
I had to look that up. You know Google gives exactly one hit? Lol I'm not positive I understand fully what you mean, but that's interesting.
Last week someone pulled me aside in Church (they were asking me to consider trying out for the choir) and asked me to pronounce one word. They said I was correct, and it was the only one Father mispronounces. But it's something the choir sings often enough - I guess I've taken my cue from them.
Slowly! I do wonder how many years it will be before I can understand Scripture in Greek, or if I'll ever be able to. But I can understand many common words. It helps.
