 | Opposing alphabet pronunciations |
| I'm new to learning Greek and as I search for a definitive audio guide for the alphabet I hear different pronunciations. For example, the letter delta. Some say it with a "th" sound and some say it with a "d" sound. Are there two different languages? |

In ancient Greek δ was prοnounced like the d in "dog". In Modern Greek δ is always pronounced like the th in "this". Thus, depending on whether one uses the ancient pronunciation or the modern pronunciation, you can hear this letter pronounced as d or th. Regards, Greg Brush |
