==Intelligibility with Greek== | |||
Grekelin is derived from Medieval Greek, so it retains multiple Greek words, leading to Grekelin and Greek sounding similar. For example, consider the following two sentences, in respectively Medieval Greek and Grekelin: | |||
<br> | |||
- Ὁ κύων μου ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔπιεν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς λίμνης τῶν γατῶν. <br> | |||
- Κίνι μοί ρέπατίςω ανά κοίςγω βίζα έξ λίκνιι γατίι. | |||
However, more formal sentences completely lose their intelligibility: | |||
<br> | |||
- Ὁι ὑπολογισταὶ σήμερον ἔνδοξον τεμένιον ὄντος εἰς τὸ βίον ἡμῶν παρείσανται. <br> | |||
- Κέκομπιύτερ ίςδιλα έςτε έγυ δίθράστο κομμάτι ζζιβίι μοί. <br> | |||
In this sentence, there are only two words of Greek origin, and only one can be easily distinguished. | |||
