What is Greeklish?

Greeklish as we know it was invented by students at Howard Payne Universtiy in Brownwood, Texas.


Greeklish is a humorous, interesting, thought provoking, or just plain odd fusion of English and New Testament Greek.

Nobody seems to know exactly when Greeklish began, but surely it was born of boredom, stress, or some combination of the two.

The rules to Greeklish are somewhat nebulous, but we have made an attempt to codify these unwrittten rules.

Greeklish may not be funny to you, but we think they're funny.

A basic knowledge of Koine Greek is helpful in understanding Greeklish.
