monotonic orthography

The monotonic orthography is the simplified way for spelling modern Greek introduced in 1982. It replaced the older Greek accents –  acute accent ( ) and  circumflex ( or ) – with only one, the  acute accent, (the grave accent ( ) had been abandoned at a previous stage) and abandoned the use of the rough breathing or  spiritus asper ( ) and smooth breathing or  spiritus lenis ( ). The  diaeresis is still used for vowel combinations such as <παϊδάκια> or "meat-chops" vs. <παιδάκια> "children" and <φαΐ> "food".
