Diphtongs in classical greek

[Strategos Semprini]

I've been studying Ancient Greek for several years now, and this is my understanding of ancient pronunciation. All these guides are based on an understanding of english pronunciation...
oi= "OY"
ai= "EYE"
au= "OW"
eu= a dipthong, the sound of which I cannot properly represent in Roman letters. It's something like the syllables "eh" and "ooh" being run together very quickly. It is NOTHING like the modern ef/ev pronunciation. (If you're familiar with the latin word "heu", it's something like that...) Also, for "Anubis88", ancient greek has no "v" sound, but in modern greek, beta is a "v", not a "b". Mu+Pi is the new "b".

Hope this helps a little.

At school I learned that -eu- in Greek is about equal to the Dutch -ui- but given that virtually no other familiar language I *know* implements that diphtong... I am in doubt about that one.

EDIT: That is: œy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphthong#Dutch
