Greek language
Greek (Greek: Ελληνικά, Elliniká) is an Indo-European language whose documented history begins in Greece around 1400 BC. The Greek language today refers to either Modern Greek or Ancient Greek. Greek is written using the Greek alphabet.
Greek is currently spoken mainly in Greece and Cyprus, with some in Albania, Italy, and Turkey, as well as by Greek immigrant communities in the United States, Australia, and other countries. Greek is the official language of the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Cyprus, and is also one of the official languages of the European Union. There are approximately 13 speakers of Greek worldwide, making it the 170th most spoken language in the world.
A large number of Greek words and expressions have survived unchanged through the centuries and have ended up as loanwords in other languages, such as Latin, German, French, and English.
