The pronunciation of New Testament Greek

 

Below are listed a selection of on-line resources for the pronunciation of koine Greek.  I have not attempted an exhaustive list; these should give the reader a place to begin.


Those who have followed my posts for some time know that I prefer to use the modern Greek pronunciation for New Testament Greek.  The links below include a variety of systems.
