- Pamphylian Greek
Pamphylian is a little-attested and isolated dialect of
Ancient Greek which was spoken inPamphylia , on the southern coast of Asia Minor. Its origins and relation to other Greek dialects are uncertain. A number of scholars have distinguished in Pamphylian dialect importantisoglosses with Arcadocypriot which allow them to be studied together. Pamphylia means "land of allphyle s, tribes". Apart fromAchaeans who may have settled there underAmphilochus ,Calchas andMopsus ,Aspendos was a colony ofArgos ,Side of Aeolian Cyme,Sillyon of unknown Greek mother-city andPerga of mixedAnatolia n population. The isolation of the dialect took place even before the appearance of the Greek article. Pamphylian is the only dialect that does not use articles with the exception of Mycenaean and Poetic language.Glossary
