Greek alphabet and its pronunciation and meaning

Recently, due to the relationship between research and preparation, I relived the troublesome mathematics at that time. I saw a lot of Greek letters ("Alpha", "Beta", and so on), and many people forgot their pronunciation, but they wanted to stick their formulas to their throat. This article is specially collected on the Internet to save it as needed.

 

In modern times, Greek letters have exceeded the limitations of the Greek nation and become an international symbol (natural science, social science), especially in civil engineering, materials Science, soil mechanics, hydraulics, and related design courses have many and complex scientific symbols. It is difficult for beginners to grasp their pronunciation and writing accurately, therefore, this article edited the history and pronunciation and writing of Greek letters, so that beginners and scholars can familiarize themselves with the significance of these symbols in their major as soon as possible after mastering the basic reading and writing of these symbols!

2. Greek

Greek is an independent native language. as a carrier of ancient Greek civilization and a language used in many fields such as literature, philosophy, science, and religion, Greek is brilliant and rare in the world. The ancient Greek language is one of the few classical languages that are still being learned and used in the world.

The Chinese name of Greece is not from English Greece, but from Hellas. How commensurate with the Greek art country! Greek speaking people came to the Greek Peninsula and nearby areas from the balgan Peninsula around 4000. Their language is divided into four dialects: ioria, Ionia, akadia-Cyprus and mulian. The famous homic poems, Iliad and Odyssey, are about the 9th century BC, using the Ionia dialect. Developed from the Ionia dialect to the Athens language-the main form of the ancient Greek language and the basis of Koine in the common language. The Old Testament in the Bible is translated into Koine in the 3-2 century BC, and the new testament is written directly using Koine. Those who believe in the Orthodox Church are still using the Bible in this classical language.

Currently, Greek countries include Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Albania, Turkey, and other countries. More than 15 million of the Greek-speaking people are using the Greek language.

We are no stranger to Greek letters. Greek letters are widely used in mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy, and other disciplines. For junior high school students, "Alpha", "Beta", and "gamma "...... It is well known. In the New Testament, God said, "I am Alafa, And I am ermeiga. I am the beginning, and I am the end ." In the Greek alphabet, the first letter is "Alpha", which represents the beginning. The last letter is "European and American", which represents the end. This is a trace of the New Testament's Greek writing. Greek is the second language after Latin in the era of the Roman Empire. Its position in the field of education continues in universities in Europe and America. Greek letters are not mysterious, just like Arabic and Russian letters. They only have different symbols and the phoneme is of the same nature. There are no vowels in Arabic. Greek letters are the oldest vowels in the world. The kierel letters and the groggeya letters used in Russian and new monman are developed from Greek letters. People who have learned Russian may feel familiar with them when using Greek letters. The Greek letters enter the vocabulary of many languages. For example, the Delta international vocabulary comes from the Greek letter delta, because Delta is a triangle.

There were 26 original Greek letters, and about two fewer Greek letters in the Dutch age. There were no English letters and Ω in Athens, which was added in 403 BC. At that time, the finalized alphabet was used until now. There are very few words that are so stable and long-standing around the world. Greek was first written from right to left, consistent with Arabic. Then there is a situation where the left and right sides coexist. from the right to the left, the next line sometimes starts not from the right end, but from the left end. In the Mayan inscription, this kind of industry is very common, and Oracle also has this kind of industry. Finally, only one line from left to right is used in Greek, which is a habit of writing Western words.

Iii. Greek alphabet pronunciation (according to the speaker's nationality and mother tongue:

Its pronunciation should be divided:
1. the linguistic pronunciation adopted to reference Greek pronunciation in ancient languages is discussed in linguistics;
2. Pronunciation as pure scientific symbols.

For the above "1 ."

We can adopt this standard. As you know, the Latin transcription of Greek letters is actually the pronunciation of letters closest to the dominant ancient Greek dialect. Corresponding:

Alpha alpha/h indicates that there is no phoneme/f/in the ancient Greek language, so the pronunciation of/PHA/is similar to that of Mandarin ".

Beta beta/be: Ta // E:/indicates a long metachin. the pronunciation of/e/is not English D. j. [e] In the phonetic alphabet, similar to K. k. in the phonetic alphabet/e/or in French/e /. /T/does not give off, so/Ta/is similar to Mandarin "Build" instead of "him ".

Gamma/GAM: A // M:/indicates a long consonants. That is, when a consonants are created, the blocking phase should be extended properly, and then the blocking action should be performed.

Delta/de: LTA/

ε Ε Epsilon/epsilo: the pronunciation of N // is closer than that of AU, a British English letter combination.

|.

ETA Η ETA/E: the first syllable of Ta/is changyin.

θ Θ Theta/The: Ta // Th/indicates the gas delivery. t indicates the dentalised, instead of the/T/in English. It is similar to T in Chinese, but it must be tighter.

ι Ι iota/JO: Ta, IO: Ta/

Kappa/KAP: A // P:/indicates long consonants. The description is similar to/M :/, the previous P is similar to the English language "No brute force" or the end of the Chinese Cantonese dialect/-P/,/k.

Lambda/lambda/

ν NY/NY :/

ε 127xi/KSI :/

ο Ο Omicron/omikro: N/Micron indicates "small", so it means "Short O.

π PI/PI: // P/is not supplied, so it should be similar to "forced" rather than "batch ".

{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0}-{0. It is said that in the Czech language, this is why Dvorak is translated as "Devo" rather than "Devo. It is said that there are two vibrations in the ancient Greek language, one is the vibrato of the beginning of the word, and the other is the true voiced vibrato of the end of the word, so there are two ROVs in the Greek letter, one is only used in the word header, one is only used at the end of the word.

Sigma/SIGMA/S/is a tooth, similar to Chinese S-, rather than English [s]. There are two sigma in the Greek alphabet, similar to the one in the beginning and the other at the end of the word. It is said that the one at the end of the word can also become a syllable, And it is unknown whether it will read like the Chinese "Silk.

Tau/Tau, tay? /The pronunciation of the next part is unknown,/u/or/y /? /T/does not send gas, so it should be similar to "house building"/"Dredging", rather than "set ".

υ policypsilon/Y: psilo: N // Chinese-like "silt" rather than "Wu". This sound is not found in Latin, so the letter is named igraeca, that is, the meaning of "Greek I. It is the same as the/I/part, but it is the lip vowel.

Phi/PHI: // PH/indicates gas delivery, so it should be similar to "batch ".

CHI/KHI: the pronunciation of/C in ancient Latin is always/k/, And/kH/is the breath-pushing.

PSI limit psi/PSI :/

ω Ω Omega/O: Me: GA // o:/is a changyin, because mega represents a big meaning, that is, "Big O"

As for "2." refers to "pronunciation of pure scientific symbols", how can it be convenient. English pronunciation, French pronunciation, and so on.
