Proto-Grekelin ([[Grekelin]]: | Proto-Grekelin ([[Grekelin]]: *Egycsi-Grekelin*, [ɛˈɟˠu̯.t͡si ˈɡrɛ.kɛɬiŋ]) is the initial stage of Grekelin, when it first began splitting from Greek between the 12th to 16th centuries during the Greek migration to Hungary. While considered a single language, it was made up of 3 loosely similar dialects. Proto-Grekelin is still spoken today in a small village although it is critically endangered and will go extinct before 2100. | ||
The migration of Greek populations and their settlements in the Kingdom of Hungary created a massive distance between Greek and Grekelin, and with little education and linguistic isolation, the Greek populace began speaking a divergent dialect, with lots of Hungarian influence, that eventually made the language split from Greek. By the time of Greek independence (19th century), the Grekelin speakers had already a highly divergent language that didn't resemble Greek as much. | The migration of Greek populations and their settlements in the Kingdom of Hungary created a massive distance between Greek and Grekelin, and with little education and linguistic isolation, the Greek populace began speaking a divergent dialect, with lots of Hungarian influence, that eventually made the language split from Greek.
