So, Kalyarnti is a coded dialect, governed by the specific rules of all coded dialects. Of course, Kalyarnti follows the grammar and syntax of modern Greek.
This does not prevent Kalyarnti from being an endlessly clever and particularly flexible language. Kalyarnti has a characteristic charm; it is a language that makes you smile involuntarily. And that is the goal of the Kynides: they seek to disarm their interlocutor by turning the conversation to the amusing.
Kalyarnti, from the perspective of literary recognition and philological exploration, is a language completely unknown and untouched. The notorious literary generation of the '30s coexisted with rembetiko music and was entirely oblivious to it.
The silence continues on the side of the Kynides. In Greece, no one risks their reputation by exploring subjects that lack prestige, perhaps because anyone who acquires prestige perishes.
