That game is fucking great

lmao anglos are retarded. Why do you want to turn every single pair of vowels into diphtongs? I'm going to teach you something. Most languages in the word treat words most of the time like this when they see CVV:

CV-V
in the case of zeus -> CV-VS
So zeh-oos

in EXTREMELY ancient greek it was like
>zdeus
But the e had a higher pitch and the u was pronounced only a little

It's pronounced heathen.

Neither you retard, it's "Zdéus".

>EXTREMELY
Since when is Attic Greek "EXTREMELY ancient"? It's only from ~300 BCE that it became a "z" sound.
>But the e had a higher pitch and the u was pronounced only a little
It's not that the "u" was pronounced a little, "eu" was a different sound from "e" and "u" altogether. It wasn't a rise on "e", it was the "ευ" as a whole that rose in pitch, not a rise on "e" and a fall on "u".

Hang yourself, pseudojew.

oops not diphthongs. What I meant is that you guys turn a pair of vowels into one sounds a lot of times.

Listen to how people say zeus in many languages:

>Since when is Attic Greek "EXTREMELY ancient"?
You don't know how it was pronounced in attic. the zd theory is probably correct but it was used in earlier forms of the language
>it was the "ευ" as a whole that rose in pitch
No, the first part rose, then the second part "fell". The last part never had an accent afaik.

Zevs.
Also, I am Greek.

>You don't know how it was pronounced in attic. the zd theory is probably correct but it was used in earlier forms of the language
From two simple wikipedia articles:
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_phonology#Fricatives
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta#Summary

>No, the first part rose, then the second part "fell".
There is no "first part" and "second part" to "ευ", you don't pronounce them as two separate letters.
>The last part never had an accent afaik.
The accent goes on the last letter when it's a diphthong (which "ευ" is), hence it's spelled Ζεύς and not Ζέυς.

Dyaeus.

And they turn single vowels into diphtongs all the time as well, see: every single Spanish word
