metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Modern Greek identity is heavily based on the idea of the continuity of Greek culture and
  the Greek language. Most specialists in Modern Greek regard Ancient Greek and Modern
  Greek as different stages of the same language despite multiple differences and innovations
  at all levels. During the 19th century, a number of European classical philologists tried to find
  Ancient Greek features in Modern Greek dialects. As a result, they have singled out Tsakonian
  as the sole dialect which descends directly from Ancient Doric Laconian but not from
  Hellenistic Koiné as the rest of the modern dialects. Nevertheless, it is important to point
  out that Tsakonian is not the only Modern Greek variety with some unique peculiarities
  inherited from Ancient Greek. This contribution analyzes the phenomena of the Ancient
  Greek origin in vocabulary, phonetics, morphology and syntax in Modern Greek dialects.
  The research is focused on those archaisms which exist in the dialects but are absent from
  Standard Modern Greek. The data was mostly collected by the author of this paper and his
  colleagues between 2000 and 2023. The analysis demonstrates that the majority of unique
  peculiarities of the Ancient Greek origin are found in Pontic and Tsakonian, although most
  varieties of Modern Greek have some archaisms. However, the quantity of archaisms is not
  a consistent indicator of the antiquity of the dialect since the history of Modern Greek dialects
  is still terra incognita and there is no good explanation why some dialects keep their
  archaisms better than the others.
