The book: In this study, we examine chronologically and synchronically the main developments, changes, and replacements of the Greek language from the classical period of the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. to the present day. At the same time, we describe, analyze, and interpret the linguistic differences observed in the dialects or idioms of this time period, at this moment in time. It becomes clear that the Greek language, as a living organism, continuously and subtly evolves, changes, modifies, and replaces itself at all levels, namely in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and vocabulary. We can briefly say that with these developments, the Greek language becomes clearer, simpler, easier, and more analytical.

This book is aimed at teachers and scholars of the Greek language, as well as anyone interested in the language, which is perhaps the greatest invention of mankind.
