Firstly, this thread has the purpose of sharing information,chatting and practising the
language, yet will be used current Greek Alphabet (or,at least,I'll do), because
searching each time all spyriths and accents is far complicated.
Well, let's begun!

Τίς δέ ότι ελλήνιζοι?
Ει ναί, εισερχέσθε!
Νυν φορύμος(let me this word) εστί ίνα γράφειν καί λέγειν εν τή ελλήνικη γλώσση.
Πεποίηκα τούτον φορύμον επειδή εφρόνεν ως, άν ού είη, τεύχειν αύτον δύναμαι.
Άλλως, άν ηθηλέσα ως τόνδε φορύμον γίγνεσθαι επικαίροτατον, όπως αποβάλληται μή.
Αποκρινησα?

http://www.typegreek.com/ Will gladly do it for you, the accents. ( for smooth, ) rough, / grave, \ acute, =
circumflex, + for diatheresis and ! for iota-subscript. Thus prw=ton maqh/ma renders: πρῶτον μαθήμα.

Τις οὐδείς?
Διότι οὐδείς γράφει ἐνταῦθα?
Τις τίς ὅς ἐν τᾆ ελλήνικᾆ γλώσσᾳ οιός τ'ἐστί ἐν τᾦ φορύμᾠ?

χαῖρε ὦ φίλε. τὰς σὰς ἐπιστολὰς ἰδὼν αὐτίκα προειλόμην μέλος ἐν τῷ φόρῳ τούτῳ γενέσθαι.

ἐπίσταμαι μὲν τὴν χυδαίαν (ἤγουν σύγχρονον) Ἑλληνίδα διάλεκτον λαλεῖν, τὴν δὲ ἀρχαίαν
λίαν κακῶς τε καὶ χαλεπώτατα γράφω. καίπερ δέδοικα μὴ ἀγράμματος καὶ σόλοικος φανῶ
νεοελληνοπρεπῶς αὐδῶν καὶ τοῖς πᾶσι γέλως γένωμαι, πειράσομαι δὲ ὅμως πρὸς σὲ παρρησίᾳ
ἀγορεύειν.

σή δεινότης ἐν τὸ ελληνική γραφεῖν πολὺ χρηστή !
ἐπειδή σύ νῦν ελληνικὰν γλῶσσαν μανθὰνεις?
ἇρα ταυτὴν ηδονῇς ὐπό φοιτᾷς?

Anyway, I'd suggest to write the translation shortly beneath the greek text, because of
its difficulty.

εὖ λέγεις, τὸ δύσγνωστον τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς ἄφατον. ταῦτα δὴ καὶ Ἀγγλιστὶ γράφωμεν ὥστε
κατανοεῖν.
ἐν πανεπιστημίῳ τυγχάνω τὴν Ἑλληνικὴν μελετῶν· ἀεὶ γὰρ τὴν Ἑλληνικὴν καὶ τὴν Λατινικὴν
γλῶτταν ἀναγιγνώσκειν δύνασθαι ἐβουλόμην ἐκ τοῦ πρὸς τὴν πάλαι οἰκουμένην περίεργον
ἔχειν.
σὺ δὲ ἡδονῆς ἕνεκα μανθάνεις;

Yes, the difficulty of Greek is ineffable, so let's write in English in order to
understand. I study Greek in university, for I always wanted to be able to read Greek and
Latin out of interest to the ancient world.

ἆρά τις βούλεται εν τῇ αρχαίᾳ ἑλληνικῇ γλώσσῃ ᾄδειν; Ἄρτι τετέλεκα τὴν πρώτην ῳδῆς εν τῇδε τῇ γλώσσῃ μετάφρασίν μου: "Tὴν Ὁδόν Πω Τελῶ" ὲκ τῆς δισνηϊκῆς ἑρμηνείᾱς τοῦ Ἡρακλέους μύθου.

Would anyone like to sing in Ancient Greek? I've just finished my first song translation/adaptation in this language: "Go the Distance" from Disney's version of "Hercules."
