| | From the Ionic dialect developed the Attic, the standard form of classical Greek. | | | The Doric dialect, originally spoken in northern Greece, largely supplanted the Arcado-Cyprian dialect in the Peloponnese and came to be spoken also in the southern Cyclades, on the island of Crete, and in the Greek colonies in Asia Minor, Sicily, and Italy. | | | The Hellenistic koine, or common tongue, was based on a late form of Attic, and became the official language of the unified Greek-speaking world, later extending to peoples whose native language was not Greek. |
