Greek to Latin script

Transliteration from Greek script to Latin/Roman script.

The Greek script has been used to write the Greek language since the 8th century BC. Derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet, it was the first alphabetic script to have distinct letters for vowels and consonants. Also it served as the base for the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, sharing with these a number of common signs. Apart from its usage in writing the Greek language, the Greek alphabet serves nowadays as a source of technical symbols in the field of mathematics, science and others. Either in the classical or modern forms the Greek alphabet has 24 letters. The pronunciation of Greek language has changed significantly along its history, and the traditional orthography has many diacritics, whereas in modern spelling orthography has been simplified to the monotonic system, which uses only two diacritics: acute accent and diaeresis.
