Every dialect has its own subdialects (See [[Old Grekelin#Dialects]]) however these will not be considered since they mostly vary on pronunciation, similar to the English accents. | ||

The Slavic (''" | The Slavic dialect (''"Dialekti Slavinki"'', "/djɑˈɫɛ.kti sɫɑvin/" or Dialekta Slavinci "/dʲaˈlʲektʲa slɑˈvʲint͡ɕi/") can be distinguished by some certain features that aren't present in Standard Grekelin: | ||
# 'i', 'e' and 'a' often palatalize the previous consonant (Similar to Russian's soft and hard consonant system). | |||
# Raising of the unstressed 'e' into 'i': [reˈɟeti] -> [riˈɟʲetʲi] | |||
# Preservation of the Medieval Greek /ɣ/ sound (As an allophone of the previously developed /ħ/ from the same sound) | |||
# Increased amount of Slavic-origin words | |||
The Slavic dialect is | The Slavic dialect is used primarily in Vojvodina (Serbia), where it developed from the beginning, though traces of it are found all the way to Ukraine, from the former dialect continuum that existed (See [[Old Grekelin]]). | ||

While not as diversified as the Slavic dialect, it remains a very interesting one for research (Being the only other dialect of Grekelin by that point). The following are the changes to have taken place by the 18th century, excluding all changes in the original '''Western Old Grekelin''': | ||

# Preservation of the word-final /s/ (Which was lost early in all other Old Grekelin dialects) | |||
# Nasalization of /a/ and its allophone /ɑ/ into /ã/ and /ɑ̃/ respectively, and /i/ to /ĩ/ as well. | |||
