It is our pleasure to share the video registration of the hybrid lecture, delivered by Prof. em. Mark Janse (Affiliated Researcher at the Faculty of Modern & Medieval Languages & Linguistics, University of Cambridge), which took place on Wednesday 23 April:

“Axenitika and Misiotika. Two Cappadocian dialects still spoken in Greece”

In his lecture, Prof. Janse sketched among other things the amazing story of the rediscovery of the two dialects, the sociolinguistic profile of their speakers and the main similarities and differences between the two varieties against the background of the extremely archaic nature of Cappadocian and its closest relative, Pontic, the origins of which go back to the postclassical period.
