Grekelin ([[w:Autoglossonym|Autoglossonym]]: '' | Grekelin ([[w:Autoglossonym|Autoglossonym]]: ''A gnujza Grekelenikin'', pronounced: /ɑ 'ɣnʊd͡zɑ ɣr̥ɛkɛ'lɛnikin/, lit. "The Grekelin language") is a [[w:Hellenic languages|Hellenic]] language with strong [[w:Hungarian Language|Hungarian]] influence. Grekelin split from [[w:Medieval Greek|Medieval Greek]] around the 12th century with the mass settlement of Hungary by Greek refugees, and has since then split for more than 9 centuries from Greek. | ||
As a related language to Greek, Grekelin shares with Greek multiple features although it remains more conservative than Standard Greek. However the language has become an SOV one (As opposed to most Indo-European languages which are SVO) due to extensive Hungarian influence. It's vocabulary has almost mostly remained Greek however Hungarian words can be found often in the language. Grekelin is the most isolated Hellenic language currently in the entire world, with about 1200 kilometers of language seperation. | As a related language to Greek, Grekelin shares with Greek multiple features although it remains more conservative than Standard Greek.
