Some questions answer themselves: The Ancient Greek spoke Ancient Greek.

Great job, i remember talk to my history teacher about this one day...
Its fun to discuss topics like this

[ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τκ]

Some corrections:
-Saying "the first alphabet to use vowels as well as consonants" is redundant as an alphabet is defined as a writing system that uses letters to represent both vowels and consonants

-Koinè is not a dialect of classical greek but rather its next stage of evolution; it ended up replacing all previous dialects with one common tongue. It is in this form of the language that the Bible was written, not medieval greek

-The modern greek script is very different from Byzantine miniscule, as it was developed from a mix of it, letter forms developed in the west, and revived classical letters for the majuscule.

But overall this is a well made and presented video and can serve as a very good introduction to the history of the greek language. It's clear you did your research, there is just some minor confusion on some points

This is a briefing Dialects are mentioned so would be a separate subject

[papazataklaattiranimam]

They spoke mutually unitelligible Hellenic languages.

Not even close to the truth
You missed so many Dialects
