Note to recorder:

Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων. Χρειάζομαι το όνομα κάθε γράμμα, έπειτα από μια σύντομη παύση, τότε ο ήχος που η επιστολή ή δίφθογγο κάνει. Τους έχω πληκτρολογήσει με το κεφάλαιο και πεζά. Παρακαλούμε να το προφέρει μόνο μία φορά.

Thank you in advance. I need each letter name, then a brief pause, then the sound which the letter or diphthong makes. I have typed them with capital and lower case. Please only pronounce it once.

Slow-ish natural speed, please.

The letters ι, η, υ, υι, οι, ει are all pronounced the same.
Similarly for
ο, ω
ε, αι

I have pronounced γκ, γγ identically, because I've used the same vowel afterwards to pronounce them. Their sound varies with respect to wether the following vowel. Therefore γκ in a word such as άγκυρα is pronounced slightly differently. Similarly for κ.

* Their sound varies with respect to wether the following vowel is one of: ου, ο, α (pronunciation as in the recording) or one of: ι, ε (pronunciation varies slightly)
