De la aspecte generale ale transliterării cu caractere latine a alfabetului grecesc la problematica greeklish
From General Aspects concerning the Transliteration with Latin Characters of the Greek Alphabet to the Problematics of the Phenomenon Known as Greeklish

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to investigate the issues raised by the transliteration of the Greek alphabet with Latin characters and to provide a distinction inside the phenomenon known as Greeklish, as generated by the needs occurred in human communication through social media and dictated by technical constraints. If in Ancient times the transliteration of the Greek alphabet was initiated by Romans (from outside) eager to understand Greek Rhetoric and Philosophy, nowadays the attempts to transliterate this alphabet belonged to the native speakers of this language (from inside), who used digital means not provided with these special characters. As technology has developed, these means are now equipped with Greek letters and the use of the Latin characters is no longer recommended and also blamed by the language purists.
