Pamphylian Greek

Pamphylian is a little-attested and isolated dialect of Ancient Greek that was spoken in Pamphylia, on the southern coast of Asia Minor. Its origins and relation to other Greek dialects are uncertain. A number of scholars have distinguished in Pamphylian dialect important isoglosses with Arcadocypriot which allow them to be studied together. Pamphylia means "land of all phyles (tribes)". The Achaeans may have settled the region under the leadership of Amphilochus, Calchas, and Mopsus. However, other cities in Pamphylia were established by different Greek tribes: Aspendos was a colony of Argos, Side was a colony of Aeolian Cyme, Sillyon was a colony of an unknown Greek mother city, and Perga was a colony established by a wave of Greeks from northern Anatolia. The isolation of the dialect took place even before the appearance of the Greek article. Pamphylian is the only dialect that does not use articles other than Mycenean Greek and poetic language.
Pronunciation and writing.
Pamphylia had a variant local alphabet, that made use both of the original "Pamphylian digamma" (Ͷ) and a standard digamma (Ϝ), which was probably borrowed from other Greek alphabets. It has been surmised that the original sound in some environments (after vowels) was represented by Ͷ; where the sound has changed to labiodental in the Pamphylian dialect, it was represented by Ϝ. Sometimes Ͷ stood also in the place of beta.
There is also a psi-like sampi (), used probably to represent the sounds , , or .
An inscription from Perge dated to around 400 BC reads: (="Vanassāi Preiiāi Klemutas Lwaramu Vasirwōtas anethēke", "Klemutas the vasirwotas, son of Lwaramus, dedicated this to the Queen of Perge").
Relation with the Anatolian languages.
Pamphylic Greek might be described as the most exotic of the Greek dialects. It appears to have been heavily influenced by nearby Anatolian languages such as Lycian, Pisidian, and Sidetic, in both phonology and syntax. In morphology and lexicon Anatolian influence apparently was much more limited.
The phonological influence of Anatolian on Pamphylic has been characterized as "massive structural interference", affecting both the consonant and vowel repertoire. Aspirates gave way to fricatives (θ /th/ → τ /t/, χ /kh/ → κ /k/) as did stop consonants (/b/ → /w/, /d/ → /r/, /g/ → /y/), glides /w/ and /y/ made their appearance regularly, in the vowel system we see signs of syllabic liquids (/ro/ → /r̩/ → /or, er/), nasalization (/en/ → /ẽ/ → /e/), and change of the Greek /o/ sound into the more "Anatolian" /u/.
In syntax three specific peculiarities stand out: absence of the article "the", use of the dative with pre- and postpositions where other Greeks would use a genitive, and the use of a special expression και νι + imperative.
All of these features can be explained as an adaption of the Greek language by imperfect second-language speakers: if a small group of colonizing Greek immigrants remained a minority in an area inhabited by Anatolian speaking people, the heavily accented Greek spoken as a second language by the local population, coloured by their native Anatolian language, would become the norm in the area. Because Pamphylia was an isolated region ("a backwater, relatively inaccessible"), there were few external stimuli to later change this situation.
