style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Palatino
Linotype",serif" lang="DE">In diesem Vortrag wird die
Entwicklung des pontischen Griechisch im weiteren Kontext
des kleinasiatischen Griechisch diskutiert. Aufgrund eines
Mangels an schriftlichen Belegen, die Hinweise auf die
Entwicklung des pontischen Griechischen geben könnten,
stellt Romeyka, eine bedrohte griechischen Sprachvarietät,
die noch an der türkischen Schwarzmeerküste gesprochen
wird, durch ihren konservativen Charakter eine Art
"Fenster in die Vergangenheit" dar; daher können wir die
chronologische Entwicklung vom Proto-pontischen, aus dem
sich Romeyka entwickelt hat, nachvollziehen und annehmen,
dass sich seine Spaltung von anderen griechischen
Varietäten mindestens 500 Jahre früher als bisher
angenommen und damit in hellenistischer Zeit und nicht im
Mittelalter vollzogen hat.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Palatino

evolution of Pontic Greek within the broader context of
Asia Minor Greek.
</span></i><i><span
style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Palatino
Linotype",serif">Given the lack of sufficiently old
textual evidence, which would normally provide clues as to
the evolution of Pontic Greek, the conservative character
of Romeyka, an endangered Greek variety still spoken in
the area of Black Sea in Turkey, means that it can be used
as a “window on the past”; thus, allowing us to create a
chronology of the evolution of Proto-Pontic, to which
Romeyka belongs, and identify its split from other Greek
varieties as being at least 500 years earlier than
previously thought, in Hellenistic times, rather than
during the medieval period.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
