Usage

Use this script template to enclose text in the polytonic, Ancient Greek script. It may be called directly, as {{polytonic|λέγω}}, or may be passed via the sc parameter to templates that support that parameter. Note that text in a non-Latin script should ordinarily be accompanied by a romanization; for Ancient Greek, see Wiktionary:Ancient Greek Romanization and Pronunciation.

* {{polytonic|λέγω}}
* {{polytonic|[[λέγω]]}}
* Ancient Greek: {{t|grc|sc=polytonic|λέγω|tr=legō}}
* From Ancient Greek {{term|sc=polytonic|λέγω|tr=legō||I say, speak}}

• λέγω
• λέγω
• Ancient Greek: λέγω (legō)
• From Ancient Greek λέγω (legō, “I say, speak”)

Unlike most script templates, this one is not named as an ISO 15924 code because many common modern Greek fonts do not support polytonic characters, and the ones that do have a very different look from most fonts for use with modern Greek. Thus, this template supports fonts that are good for displaying Ancient Greek and are commonly pre-installed on most people's computers, ensuring that polytonic text appears properly. Compare:

• Οὐρανός (using no template)
• Οὐρανός (using {{Grek|Οὐρανός}})
• Οὐρανός (using {{polytonic|Οὐρανός}})
