Nouns, adjectives, pronouns, articles, numerals and especially verbs are all highly inflected.

This article mostly deals with the pronunciation of the standard Attic dialect of the fifth century BC, used by Plato and other Classical Greek writers, and touches on other dialects spoken at the same time or
