# 🏛️ UD East Cretan Dialect Treebank |
|
|
|
|
|
The **East Cretan dialect** is a variety of **Modern Greek** primarily used on the island of **Crete** and by the **Cretan diaspora**, including communities relocated to **Hamidieh in Syria** and **Western Asia Minor** following the 1923 population exchange. The dialect has been shaped by the island's long-term isolation and successive domination by **Arabs, Venetians, and Turks**, resulting in distinct phonological, morphological, and lexical characteristics. |
|
|
|
|
|
East Cretan is divided into **western and eastern subgroups**, with the boundary roughly coinciding with the prefectures of **Rethymno** and **Heraklion**. The **eastern group** is more homogeneous, while the western shows more variation. Unlike many Modern Greek dialects, **East Cretan remains actively spoken**, serving as the main means of communication in much of the island. |
