Anyway technically beta is the letter that inspired the b in the latin alphabet and it has the same pronounciation to it, I'm fairly sure that modern Greek β can be both pronounced as a b and a v. Since originally the greek letter for v was digamma and it was only slowly assimilated into β due to charateristics of the spoken language mutating through time. @ΕΘΝΙΚH ΑΝΤΙΣΤΑΣΗ

nope, I can confirm it isn't used as a b

since I live here

all the shop signs and everywhere uses μπ

for direct b's

β can sound like a bv hybrid

but that's about it

mostly still a v tho

for example μπαταρια

Ah. It's kinda like spanish

like I see the sign in shops

Makes sense

never a β for a b

mp together kind of sounds like a b tho

closest thing to it

so that's why

This is why you are gay nerds

Whomstve even cares about letters man

idk just feel the need to explain

It must have changed further, in ancient greek b is β but it can assume the pronounciation of v if in the archaic origin of the word there was originally a digamma as I said, which changed to the closest letter phonetically

Which is beta

here's an example

nihil's favourite shop

Digamma is the archaic letter for v

Cool

I see

ΜΠΑΤΑΡΙΑΣ = BATARIAS

Yes

That's a cool nerdy phonetical origin to tell though @ΕΘΝΙΚH ΑΝΤΙΣΤΑΣΗ

Comes straight from indo european

or like bananas in greek:

μπανανες

Based

Wtf

just another example

Anthropos you are the owner right? Is there another one?
