I've heard very little about this dialect... but I know that many important Greek philosophers, writers, and thinkers spoke this dialect! Does anyone know a little more information about this dialect?

https://www.greekboston.com/culture/ancient-history/attic-dialect/ heres an explanation. "Today, some linguists reportedly consider Attic Greek a variant of a larger group of dialects referred to as “Ionic Greek”."

The Greek language has changed and evolved over time and the Attic dialect was influential because of the concentration of philosophers, scientists, etc that were living in that region.

March 25th marks a significant celebration in Greece, but I realize my knowledge on its historical context is quite limited.
From what I understand, this day commemorates the start of the War of Greek Independence in 1821, where Greece sought to end several centuries of Ottoman rule. However, I'm eager to learn more about the intricacies of this period, the key figures involved, and how the struggle for independence unfolded over time.
Additionally, I'd be interested in understanding how this day is celebrated across Greece today and whether any particular traditions are tied to it. For example, are there specific ceremonies, parades, or family traditions that uniquely mark this day in Greek culture?
