A correction has been made to Section 1. Kaliardá: An Introductory Overview.

Kaliardá is a Greek variety that was originally created by socially marginalized communities of cross-dressers, transgender people, and was later picked up gay men, as mentioned by Gkartzonika (2012). It is mainly used in the big urban areas of Greece, namely Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras. For many years, Kaliardá was thought to have appeared during the 1940s (Christopoulou 2016). Recently, however, the discovery by Kostas Vlisidis (https://sarantakos.wordpress.com/2017/12/27/kaliarnta/ accessed on 15 May 2022) of a 1904 issue of the satirical magazine Petaktó Kórte brought new evidence, according to which the first attestation of Kaliardá, under the form of a short list of words, dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century. There is also a view spread among some Kaliardá speakers that the variety was created during the Ottoman era, that is, before the Greek independence war of 1821 and the creation of the first Modern Greek state in 1828 (Gkartzonika 2012). Moreover, a significant number of words which originate from Romani in the Kaliardá vocabulary, among which those naming the linguistic variety itself, has driven Montoliu (2005) to suggest that Kaliardá has been created in Gypsy male gay communities, although there are no diachronically relevant sources to justify this hypothesis. Today, the lexical influence on Kaliardá from languages other than Romani, for example from Italian, French and English, is bigger.
