The Boeotian Greek Dialect Unlocks Attic Pronunciation 🇬🇷
The Ancient Greek dialect Boeotian has a number of innovative features reminiscent of Modern Greek, but does this mean that many or most of the features of Modern Greek already existed in antiquity? In reality, Boeotian unlocks the precise timing of when and how Attic pronunciation changed and how it became Koine. I think this is an amazing story, and I bet you will too (if you are a historical phonology nerd, that is.) Καλώς ορίσατε!

Reading and Pronouncing Biblical Greek, by Philemon Zachariou
https://amzn.to/3QKOg52
While it purports to be a book about the historical phonology of Greek, it's best described as a pseudo-lingustic apologia that attempts to persuade the reader that Ancient Greek was pronounced the same as Modern Greek. If you're interested in learning how such pseudo-linguists present this issue, it is an interesting read.
