Greek Alphabet

Table below modified from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet

Below is a table listing the Greek letters, as well as their forms when romanized. The table also provides the equivalent Phoenician letter from which each Greek letter is derived. Pronunciations transcribed using the International Phonetic Alphabet.

The classical pronunciation given below is the reconstructed pronunciation of Attic in the late 5th and early 4th century BC. Some of the letters had different pronunciations in pre-classical times or in non-Attic dialects. For details, see of the Greek alphabet|History of the Greek alphabet and Greek phonology|Ancient Greek phonology.
