Hey everyone, I've noticed that in your FAQ you mention that "the Greek and Hebrew languages" are off topic, and I'm assuming there was at least some interest in both languages in the community. So, I thought it might be a good opportunity to plug my (almost forgotten) A51 proposal:
Proposed Q&A site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Greek language.
Currently in definition.
The original plan for the proposal fell through, it was supposed to be backed up by a group of philologists at a local uni but they never showed much interest after I created the proposal (no idea why).

I went ahead and plugged it (and a couple other proposals). It seems like the proposal can and should be expanded. (I'll write up an answer to your question about ancient Greek.)
@JonEricson that's a strange proposal. since it's primarily about modern greek and the proponents are vehemently against anything else, it seems like it's not relevant.

What is the long-term viability of a site dedicated to native speakers of such a language? Greek stopped being lingua franca a few centuries ago — swasheck14 secs ago
