As a Greek lady, I love the nice coincidence that you always upload Elliniká/ Greek videos when I'm online on YouTube and I love the fact that the Koine Greek speaker is reading the texts like a poet while the Modern Greek does it with a voice of an actor from the theater 🎥 . Both are passionate and really enjoyable to listen to. Efcharisto/ thanks❣️👍 🥰

It's worth pointing out that Koine Greek didn't have a single pronunciation, it varied across the hellenic world. This video seems to use the Alexandrian koine pronunciation (voiced stops are fricatives but the aspirates are retained), but their also existed European and Anatolian variants which were closer to Modern Greek in pronunciation.

I am so happy this is not Erasmian pronunciation. This is a very credible reconstruction. Having said that, I must admit that I like the sound of modern Greek much better.

The Lord's Prayer is in Matthew 6:9-13. The New Testament was originally written in Koine Greek.

As a Greek speaker, I'm proud to acknowledge with all my heart, soul, mind, and knowledge that Greek is the first Christian language spoken by the early Church fathers during the Early Christian times prior to Orthodox Christianity.

Once upon a time, this language was the lingua franca of eastern mediterranean world.

Greek sounds so perfect, and beautifull. God bless greeks.

We say this prayer everyday in school before the first classes, the original one in koine. And it’s always a student saying the prayer. Usually a nerd.

[GiaLogous]

The Koine Greek changed over the hundreds of years of its existence
You are going off of an earlier version of it than when this ecclesiastical verse was written

Glory to our God and Saviour Lord Christ ✝️
I loved the fact that you used the Lord's Prayer in your video.

[ignisfatuus]

The modern Greek rendering of the prayer is translated, rather transliteratied, . You should pronounce the old text in both ways, , no one says the prayer translated. Even the 90 years old people say it in koine. Always in koine. If you did so, it would be identical, this is a bit confusing for a non Greek speaker, it's a different text.

In my church when we pray we always use the koine Greek because it is what is used in our scriptures

[MrGWolf-ihme]

We still use Kione in Greek Orthodox liturgy the Lords Prayer is said in exactly the same way. ❤

[mikelnomikos]

So perfectly presented and pithy. Please, please, please do an ancient and modern greek comparison. Maybe use plato or another philosopher's writings as a point of reference?

[ryanmartinez]

Modern Greek, which was spoken today. Where does this Koine Greek spoken?

[aleeka]

Please compare Hungarian and Mongolian 🇭🇺🇲🇳

Some guy commented on a another video, claiming that Greek was a constructed language, made up in the 18th Century. He was probably just trolling.

[kirap]

I've heard that Koine Greek sound already shift from plosive to fricative already that mean Φ Θ Χ Β Δ Γ should pronounce sound like ipa ɸ (ph with lip + lip not teeth+lip) θ (th in think) x (spainish J) β (bh with lip+lip and voiced not teeth+lip) ð ( th in them) ɣ ( voiced version of spainish J), not sound like in classical greek that Φ Θ Χ Β Δ Γ are pronouce like in english P T K B D G and lost of Aspiration (such as Ηρα (Hera) will pronounce as era or eera instead

[AthanasiosPeristeras]

We still say Greek prayers in koine Greek

[Gavr]

Post something about Doric Greek please!
