This new bilingual book deals with the dialects of modern Greek that continue to be spoken outside of Greek territory, specifically in the former Soviet Union, Italy, Bulgaria, Syria, and Turkey.
The significance of the dialects of modern Greek is evident. They constitute the variety of the Greek language and serve as evidence of its historical depth. The common modern Greek - as a language and literature - owes much to the dialects and their lexical treasure.
This book, therefore, is certain to contribute to informing the broader public both within and outside Greece about a relatively unknown part of the dialects of the modern Greek language. Furthermore, this book can serve as a useful aid for bilingual communities that still maintain some version of the modern Greek language as a cornerstone of their bilingualism.
In this way, suitable conditions are created for these communities to function as bridges of friendship and cooperation between neighboring and other peoples, an element that perhaps represents the most important aspect of the initiative documented in this new book.
