Modern Greek dialects

[Spartan]

Spartan, look at these videos and tell me if this sounds a bit different than what is spoken in Sparti.

A very noticable difference in the accent.
However , I do understand what is being said.

This could be another factor contributing to this confusion over this topic of the Macedonian dialect, since many of them were settled in northern Greece.

My point exactly. It has no bearing on the natural language of the land.

my favourite greek dialect is actually not spoken in greek its in grenglish, and its spoken around oakliegh clayotn area of melbourne in australia, its best exponent is effi the boring one. and george kapinaris makes a good go of it too.

Funny stuff
The Australlian accent throws me off bigtime though
I had to watch it twice before I got it

i found acropolis now to be one of the funniest shows on tv during its time in the 80s, but now they are flogging a dead horse and its become stale and oppourtunistic to parody ones culture ll the time.

Were there any shows on tv during the 80's that showed your Macedonians' culture or was there no such thing?

I believe that should read no sutse theen

[Risto the Great]

I don't remember any of the Greeks calling themselves Macedonians in that show if that helps you.
After all, it was before the greek mind meld of the 1990's.

There was no need to clarify what type of Greeks they were in the 80's.

Oh, I see you've forgotten. Back then they used to say Macedonians do not exist.

"If you can't beat them, be them" appears to be the Greek mantra.

I heard it every day.

I can't recall them saying that in the show.
