"Αυτός μιλάει Αγγλικά."

[Euanjoc8]

I'm guessing that Greek uses capital letters for languages and countries like in English and unlike in many European languages - is that correct?

[panagiotis_ts]

All countries are capitalized in Greek (Ελλάδα, Γαλλία, etc).

As for the languages, it's a mess. On the website of Babiniotis, a very famous Greek linguist and former professor of the university of Athens, I have read that languages must be capitalized. However, in the European manual for Greek texts, I've read that languages in modern Greek must not be capitalized.

I never capitalize languages, but most people that I know capitalize them. So it's your choice, to capitalize them or not. :-)

[teopap2]

I don't capitalize languages either. I think we were taught at school they shouldn't be.

[Apogeotou]

I was taught at school that languages shouldn't be capitalised, but I still do capitalise them :P

[Avi.Ps]

So Αγγλικά is written with two Γ but pronounced like ΝΓ? Its sounds like the voice is reading anglika

[teopap2]

It sounds right, γγ and γκ are pronounced as either "g" or "ng".

[margrankin]

ΓΓis the actual transliteration of "NG" . Example Angel-Άγγελος.

Why is the accent written in the last syllable, but pronounced in the next-to last (in 'Anglika')?
