🔤 PhoneticFree Online Greek Extended Keyboard – Type Polytonic/Classical Greek

Welcome to the most comprehensive Polytonic Greek keyboard online (Ελληνικά)! Our free Extended keyboard gives you instant access to all polytonic Greek characters, including breathing marks (psili ᾿, dasia ῾), accents (tonos ΄), dialytika (¨), and iota subscripts, allowing you to type authentic Classical Greek from any device.

Why do scholars need a Polytonic Greek keyboard? Ancient Greek and Koine Greek used a polytonic orthography with multiple diacritical marks indicating pronunciation. This was used in Greek literature for over 2,000 years – from Homer to the Byzantine era. Modern Greek simplified to monotonic in 1982, but scholars, theologians, and classicists still need polytonic for ancient texts.

The Polytonic Greek system includes: smooth breathing (psili ᾿) and rough breathing (dasia ῾), acute accent (oxia ΄), grave accent (varia `), circumflex (perispomeni ~), iota subscript (ᾳ, ῃ, ῳ), and dialytika (¨). Our keyboard makes typing all of these easy!

Perfect for: Classical Greek scholars, biblical studies (Koine Greek New Testament, Septuagint), Byzantine studies, Orthodox liturgy, Homeric epic studies, Greek philosophy texts, and anyone studying ancient Greek literature.

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Greek text stays on your device only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Polytonic Greek keyboard?

Polytonic Greek uses multiple diacritical marks (breathing marks, accents, iota subscripts) that were used in Greek writing from ancient times until 1982. Modern Greek uses monotonic (single accent). Polytonic is essential for Classical Greek, Koine Greek, and Byzantine texts.

Who needs a Polytonic Greek keyboard?

Classical scholars studying Homer, Plato, Aristotle; biblical scholars reading the Greek New Testament and Septuagint; Byzantine historians; Orthodox clergy; students of ancient Greek; and anyone working with pre-1982 Greek texts.

What are breathing marks in Greek?

Breathing marks indicate whether a vowel at the start of a word has an 'h' sound (rough breathing ῾) or not (smooth breathing ᾿). For example: ἁ (ha) vs ἀ (a). Our keyboard has dedicated keys for both.

What is iota subscript?

Iota subscript is a small iota written below alpha, eta, or omega (ᾳ, ῃ, ῳ) in polytonic Greek. It represents an ancient diphthong. Our Extended keyboard fully supports iota subscript.
