The Greek letter omicron is pronounced like "ah-mih-KRAHN," with a short "o" sound. In contrast, the Greek letter omega is pronounced like "oh-MEH-gah," with a long "o" sound. Omega is typically pronounced a bit longer and with a slightly different emphasis compared to omicron.

In the greek language what is the difference between omega and omicron?

In a more earlier form of Greek, omega had a longer "o" sound whereas omicron had a shorter sound.

There aren't any. The sound didn't exist in ancient Greek, and there was no letter in the alphabet to represent it. In ancient Latin, the letter 'v' represented the sound of English 'w'. Certain archaic dialects of Greek had the 'w' sound, and wrote it with a letter known as "digamma". But both the sound and the letter disappeared before the classical period of the language.
