Greek: Modern...
"Modern Greek is the language of almost 10 million
people, in-
cluding Greek-speaking inhabitants of Greece, Cyprus,
Turkey,
and the United States, as well as the unique theocratic republic
of Athos, home of the monastic colonies of Mount Athos.
Although Modern Greek is spoken with a remarkable lack of
dialectal variation, there are nevertheless two distinct levels of
language. The first is Katharevousa
(‘pure’), the language of
officialdom and of most literature, including the newspapers; it
maintains the vocabulary and syntax of Koine Greek. (See
Greek: Ancient.) The second is
Demotiki, or Romatiki, the
vernacular Greek as it is now spoken. It is much simplified
grammatically, and employs considerable loan vocabulary.
Although the movement to promote literature in the colloquial
usage emerged as early as the 18th century, and the two forms
have in fact drawn somewhat closer together, they still remain
distinct.
With few exceptions Greek Scriptures have been prepared in
the formal literary idiom. In fact, the publication of the Pallis
vernacular version of [m]atthew in an Athenian newspaper in
1901 touched off so much public and political unrest that the
government prohibited publication of Modern Greek Scriptures
of any kind. This prohibition, which lasted 23 years, was re-
voked in 1924.
The history of the Modern Greek Bible has been dominated by
two versions. The early (1638) translation by Maximus, a monk
of Gallipoli, has been often revised and reprinted. However, the
version (1844) by N. Bambas and
others has become the standard
version, especially among Protestants. The first portion of
the
Bible ever to appear in Modern Greek is an interesting bit of
Judaica - the polygot Pentateuch (1547), edited by the famous
Soncino family of Venice. It
contains a translation of the Torah
into Greek, printed in Hebrew character.
Modern Greek is the spoken language closest to the language in
which the New Testament was
originally composed. Thus the
translator of the Gospel into Modern Greek would seem to have
an advantage over the translator into any other tongue." --1000
