=== Greece === {{vanchor|Greek comma|komma|text=[[Greek language|Modern Greek]] uses the same [[Unicode]] comma for its {{Transliteration|el|kómma}} ({{lang|el|κόμμα}})<ref name="nicky">Nicolas, Nick. "[http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/punctuation.html Greek Unicode Issues: Punctuation]" {{webarchive |url= https://archive.today/20120806003722/http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/punctuation.html |date=6 August 2012}}. 2005. Accessed 7 October 2014.</ref> and it is officially [[romanization of Greek|romanized]] as a Latin comma,<ref>{{lang|el|Ελληνικός Οργανισμός Τυποποίησης}} [{{Transliteration|el|Ellīnikós Organismós Typopoíīsīs}}, '[[Hellenic Organization for Standardization]]']. {{lang|el|ΕΛΟΤ 743, 2η Έκδοση}} [{{Transliteration|el|ELOT 743, 2ī Ekdosī}}, "ELOT 743, {{nowrap|2nd ed.}}"]. ELOT (Athens), 2001. {{in lang|el}}.</ref> but it has additional roles owing to its conflation with the former [[hypodiastole]], a curved [[interpunct]] used to disambiguate certain homonyms. As such, the comma functions as a [[silent letter]] in a handful of Greek words, principally distinguishing {{lang|el|{{linktext|ό,τι}}}} ({{Transliteration|el|ó,ti}}, 'whatever') from {{lang|el|{{linktext|ότι}}}} ({{Transliteration|el|óti}}, 'that').<ref name="nicky" />}}
