I think quite a few people on the list prefer non-Erasmian pronunciations,
most notably Randall Buth, who is making taking materials. Certainly
speakers of modern Greek pretty much unanimously don't use Erasmian
pronunciations. They usually use modern Greek pronunciation, although Dr.
Buth has reconstructed pronunciation scheme, which is slightly different for
things like upsilon. See the following website:
