The standard Grekelin dialect makes stressed syllables have longer length, a remnant of the Classical Greek vowel length feature. Slavic Grekelin instead makes all the phonemes have the same length. | The standard Grekelin dialect makes stressed syllables have longer length, a remnant of the Classical Greek vowel length feature.

==Evolution== | |||
===Vowels=== | |||
Grekelin preserved all Medieval Greek vowels, except for /y/. Vowel length was already lost although some Slavic subdialects do preserve the Proto-Grekelin rule, where a stressed vowel becomes slightly longer and pronounced more clearly. | |||
===Consonants=== | |||
Many consonants underwent a very regular but much more extensive evolution found in most Greek dialects, called Tsitakismos, where /k/ and /c/ are palatalized. Modern Grekelin further merged many consonants and clusters in words into /d͡ʒ/, such as /ks/, /z/, /n/, /k/ and /ɣ/. /l/ became entirely /ɫ/, something only common in Macedonia then. Finally, in Proto-Grekelin, if the preceding letter was a consonant, /v/ became /w/. | |||
===Grammar=== | |||
Grekelin melted down much of Greek grammar, including the deletion of genders and moods. In addition, Grekelin is slowly turning from an agglutinative to a fusional language: | |||
# Greek: '''Είδα τους ανθρώπους''' | |||
# Grekelin: '''E keleottimek kiwlima''' | |||
Grekelin uses seperate particles for the plural, person, tense and recepient. | |||
