The modern Greek alphabet and its corresponding pronunciations are as follow:<ref>http://www.geocities.com/alexandrosworld/Greek/Phonology.html</ref><ref>Pronunciations separated by a slash indicate a phonetic difference depending on the following vowel. On the left is the pronunciation before [e] and [i], on the right the pronunciation before [a], [ɔ], or [u]. In the case of iota, the difference depends on whether it is word initial.</ref>

In many cases, the modern phonetic values of the letters match the pronunciation of the initial letter (or letter clusters) of their names in English. However, some letters have shifted in pronunciation since ancient times, so this is not always the case. For example, in Ancient Greek, the letter beta was pronounced like the Latin letter B, whereas in Modern Greek it is pronounced like the Latin letter V.<ref>http://www.omniglot.com/writing/greek.htm</ref>

Digraphs are formed to signify sounds not covered by the main alphabet (e.g., ντ for /d/ and μπ for /b/), or to represent diphthongs (e.g., αυ for /af/ and ου for /u/).
