Iotacism

Iotacism ((ギリシア語:ἰωτακισμός), ''iotakismos'') is the process by which a number of vowels and diphthongs in Ancient Greek converged in pronunciation so that they all sound like iota ((:i)) in Modern Greek.
In the case of the letter eta specifically, this process is known as itacism (from the resulting pronunciation of the letter's name as (:ˈita)).
==Vowels and diphthongs involved==
Ancient Greek had a broader range of vowels (see Ancient Greek phonology) than Modern Greek. Eta () was a long open-mid front unrounded vowel , and upsilon () was a close front rounded vowel . Over the course of time, both of these vowels came to be pronounced like the close front unrounded vowel iota () . In addition, certain diphthongs merged to the same pronunciation, especially epsilon-iota () and (later) upsilon-iota ().
In Modern Greek the letters and digraphs are all pronounced "i", (:i).
