Tsakonian or Tsaconian (τσακώνικα; also Tzakonian or Tsakonic) is a highly divergent modern variety of Greek spoken in the Tsakonian region of the Peloponnese Greece. Tsakonian derives from Doric Greek being its only living descendant. Although it is conventionally treated as a dialect of Greek some compendia treat it as a separate language. Tsakonian is critically endangered with only a few hundred mostly elderly fluent speakers left.
