Locrian Greek

Locrian Greek is an ancient Greek dialect that was spoken by the Locrians in Locris, Central Greece.

It is a dialect of Northwest Greek.

The traits of both dialects were described by Wilhelm Dittenberger, editor of the project Inscriptiones Graecae.

[1] Unlike some other Northwest varieties, that are not so well known from a dialectal point of view, Locrian, along with Phocian, is generally considered to be a well–attested and recognizable dialect.
