Pamphylian Greek Totally Explained

Everything about Pamphylian Greek totally explained

Pamphylian is a little-attested and isolated dialect of Ancient Greek which was spoken in Pamphylia, on the southern coast of Asia Minor. Its origins and relation to other Greek dialects are uncertain. A number of scholars have distinguished in Pamphylian dialect important isoglosses with Arcadocypriot which allow them to be studied together. Pamphylia means "land of all phyles, tribes". Apart from Achaeans who may have settled there under Amphilochus, Calchas and Mopsus, Aspendos was a colony of Argos, Side of Aeolian Cyme, Sillyon of unknown Greek mother-city and Perga of mixed Anatolian population. The isolation of the dialect took place even before the appearance of the Greek article. Pamphylian is the only dialect that doesn't use articles with the exception of Mycenaean and Poetic language.
