Major Reworking 28 Sept 2005 edit
I found this article with some major factual problems -- Homer described as being mainly in Aeolian with some Ionian, Ionian cities in Asia Minor described as colonies, etc.
One thing led to another. Major reworking.
Apologies to anyone whose efforts got overwritten.
Subdialects edit
Did Ionian have any internal variation? I'm inclined to think it should, given a) its wide spread in geographic terms; b) the fact that many speakers lived on islands and were thereby physically isolated from one another; c) the proximity of Aeolian, Doric and Attic, which may be expected to have mixed with Ionic in border areas and d) the major variation within Doric and to a lesser extent Aeolian.

glossary links edit
almost all of the links in the glossary that lead to perseus.tufts.edu/hopper are broken Matthewmorrone1 (talk) 14:28, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
Sources edit
Which is the source used in the article and artibuted to Smyth? He wrote multiple works about Ancient Greek dialects. It is not the one dedicated specifically to Ionic Greek (or if it is, then the citation is misplaced).VladG03 (talk) 11:47, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
