		<description>As far as I know, greeklish were spread back in the BBS days, because most of them had no support for any character sets except latin. So people had to adapt ;-)

Of course today there is no such need really. And since this blog runs on Wordpress, which uses Unicode, it should be able to display characters from most languages.</description>

		<description>Since you are talking about the greeklish (GREEK-engLISH) writting, i'll try to answer some of your questions (clearly offtopic). 

We mostly simplify, keeping only important elements/letters of the alphabet. 

One ee, one e, one o (omega and omikron). This is not completeley true though. E.g: Some, use w for omega. 

And there are some other differentiations: 8 for theta (looks like it) or th for theta (sounds like it), some write x some ks, etc. 

There are also no accents in greeklish.

But this causes no problem in reading. (i mean, you understood it was greek and probably you managed to read some eh?). 

Anyway, I think there is a greeklish standard from greek standardization organization.

		<description>Dimitris, just stumbled into your site from my web stats "referers list". Didn't know you had the blog up'n'running.

Can you guys read and write fluent greek with the latin alphabet? Didn't know! I know the greek alphabet from studying a bit at school, but thought you could only write greek with greek characters....

And what is the correspondence? I mean, a-alpha seems clear, but what do you do with omega and omicron, or nu, n and H?

Anyway, best luck with the project. It sounds good from the blog.</description>
