This reference contains the recommendation for the [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griechische_Sprachfrage article from the German ''Wikipedia''].</ref> Monotonic monotonic orthography became law in 1982.<ref>See Law 1228/1982 and Decree 297/1982.

See Law 309/1976. The legal text was written in the purified Greek, but it ordered the popular Greek to be the official language.</ref> This means that polytonic Greek is not only ancient Greek, since the main part of modern Greek was polytonic.
