The Cretan dialect
Although
Crete is a Greek island, the local dialect is typical with many idioms. It’s
spoken all over Crete but is more popular among the villages residents.
A lot of
its words came from the Roman and Turkish domination period on the island.
Since I was
born and raised in Athens, learning the more I can of these words with the adorable
accent is a big challenge to me.
I wish and
hope the new generation won’t let their ancestors characteristic way of
speaking vanish.
