Excerpt from The Homeric Dialect: Its Leading Forms and Peculiarities

The Greek Dialects are those provincial peculiarities of speech which distinguished the inhabitants of different countries speaking the Greek language.

All the tribes of Pelasgic origin who settled themselves in Greece and the islands of the Grecian Archipelago, the South of Italy, Sicily. And the Western coast of Asia Minor, originally spoke a common language, from which subsequently branched off the several provincial forms called Dialects.

This ancient or common language is represented by the olic, and by the Latin, which separated from the Greek in the Pelasgic era.
