==[[Greek language|Greek]] ([[:el:Ελληνική γλώσσα|Ελληνικά]])==
Modern Greek is written with [[Greek alphabet]] in [[Monotonic orthography|monotonic]], [[Polytonic orthography|polytonic]] or [[atonic]], either according to Demotic ([[Manolis Triantafyllidis|Triantafyllidis]]') grammar or [[Katharevousa]] grammar. Some people write in [[Greeklish]] (Greek with Latin script) which is either Visual-based, [[orthographic]] or [[phonetic]] or just messed-up (mixed). The only official orthographic forms of Greek language are Monotonic and Polytonic.
===Normal Modern Greek (Greek Monotonic)===
*words ''και, είναι'';
*Each multi-syllable word has one accent/tone mark (''oxia''): ά έ ή ί ό ύ ώ
*The only other diacritic ever used is the tréma: ϊ/ΐ, ϋ/ΰ, etc.

===Pre-1980s Greek (Greek Polytonic)===
''[[Katharevousa]]'', ''[[Dimotiki]]'' ([[Manolis Triantafyllidis|Triantafylidis]]' grammar)
* Diacritics: ά, ᾶ, ἀ, ἁ, and combinations, also with other vowels.
* Some texts, especially in Katharevousa, also have ὰ, ᾳ, in combination with other diacritics. 
===Ancient Greek===
*Diacritics: ά, ὰ, ᾶ, ἀ, ἁ, ᾳ, and combinations, also with other vowels; ῥ; tilde (ᾶ) often appears more like a rounded circumflex
*some texts feature lunate sigma (looks like c) instead of σ/ς

===Greek Atonic===
*Was common in some Greek media (television);
*You will see Greek characters without accents/tones;
*words: ''και, ειναι, αυτο''.
===Greek in [[Greeklish]]===
*Automated conversion software for Greeklish->Greek conversion exists. If you notice a Greeklish text it may be useful for the Greek el.wikipedia (after conversion).
*Keep in mind: in Greeklish more than one character may be used for one letter. (example: th for [[Θ]] ([[theta]])).
====Orthographic Greeklish====
*words ''kai, einai''.
====Phonetic Greeklish====
*words ''ke, ine'';
*omega appears as o;
*ei, oi appear as i;
*ai appears as e.
====Visual-based Greeklish====
*omega (Ω or ω) may appear as W or w;
*epsilon (E) may appear as ''3'';
*alpha (A) may appear as ''4'';
*theta (Θ) may appear as ''8'';
*upsilon (Y) may appear as ''\|/'';
*gamma (γ) may appear as ''y''
*More than one character may be used for one letter.
