(Morpho)syntactic peculiarities of Modern Greek dialects attract more and more researchers in the last decades. In this contribution, my goal is to perform a complex analysis of the pronominal syntax of 6 local varieties (= dialects) of Modern Greek: Northern Chiotic, Tsakonian, Cypriot, Greek of Southern Albania (Dropull), Azov Greek (the subdialect of Maloyanisol) and Pontic from Southern Russia and Abkhazia. The data used in the research is a result of the fieldwork of 2003–2023. The analysis is focused on three phenomena: (a) regulations of the pronominal clitic position, (b) patterns of linearization of multiple clitic pronouns, (c) Clitic Doubling. The study of Clitic Doubling aims to find out whether the phenomenon exists in the dialect and describe all possible orders of its constituents. I believe that each of the three phenomena could be an interesting criterion for dialectal classification. However, it is more promising to compare pronominal syntax in complex, using, for example, the methods of dialectometric analysis, like the calculation of the Hamming distance.
