message: a common (but derogatory) term for Greeklish is frankovlahika/φραγκοβλάχικα -- "hillbilly Western" (exploiting the negative cultural stereotype among ethnic Greeks of the Vlachs).
This is not only false, it's a joke. Not only this term is not common, is non-existant. Maybe somebody said it somewhere and this is how it arrived here, but this doesn't justify its inclusion here. I deleted it.
Αυτό όχι μόνο είναι λάθος, είναι αστείο. Όχι μόνο αυτός ο όρος δεν είναι συχνός, αλλά είναι και ανύπαρκτος. Ίσως κάποιος τον είπε κάπου και έτσι κατέληξε εδώ, αλλά αυτό δεν δικαιολογεί την αναφορά του εδώ. Το αφαίρεσα.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.242.191.250 (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Some people in the U.S. do use "Greeklish" to describe the often ungrammatical pidgnin Greek used by Greek-American teenagers, although my Greek professor prefered "Grenglish." Whenever you botched something in class she'd say "Stop with the Grenglish!"  --Jpbrenna 18:39, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I think that a page called Grenglish should be made.
Grenglish is the 'dialect' (it's not a dialect but I can't think of the correct word right now and I'm in a rush) often spoken by people of Greek or Cypriot extraction who live outside of Greece or Cyprus (particularly in Britain). If they don't know a Greek word then they just say the English word, or sometimes if they are speaking English (to other Greeks/Cypriots, usually born/brought up abroad) they mix both languages, like "Ade, go and pack your valitsa, fevgoume" ("Hurry up, go and pack your bags, we're going") or "I got it on with the kopela who came to my spiti last night" ("I had it on with the girl that came to my house last night")

It is rather creole than dialect. Wikinger 17:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article currently makes mention in the "Standards" section of an ELOT standard for "greeklish", admittedly rarely used.  Which standard is it? Where can I find this standard? Is this just a reference to ELOT 928 (which doesn't seem to be much related to Greeklish)? Nahaj 19:20, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I advise you following Greeklish convention to be most perfect in transliteration while using only Times German character set:
that is fully described here: http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Adamic_language and avoids all digraphs totally.
I think that this Greeklish solution is the best ever because it fully avoids using digits in manner of obscure warez leetspeak and diacritic-featured signs, while limiting itself to using only signs from best Times German standard. 87.96.51.115 (talk) 14:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is ugly, because blocks possibility of assigning Latin signs to Heta, Qoppa, etc... Above Times German solution is the best, trash the rest! 207.10.232.238 (talk) 15:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Eh, Greek alphabet, section 2. The point is that this be a phonetic transcription of English, not a transliteration --- so that English is still transmogrified into something Greek-like, even in the Latin alphabet. (Why would you transliterate English into Greek when you're already using the Latin alphabet?) And ντ is how /(n)d/ is transliterated. Opoudjis (talk) 13:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  References 

message: Hey everybody! I once created a page on the Greeklish dialect which has nothing more than one single mention (second paragraph) but no information about it. When I tried to create a page about the issue, it was intentionally sabotaged and deleted. These two concepts are different. This was few months ago. These two concepts are completely and unrelated. I believe they should be separate articles for that reason
