In its ancient form, it is the language of classical Ancient Greek literature and the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

  • In the Greek language, Greek is spelled ελλινικά and in capitals ΕΛΛΙΝΙΚΑ, something that has always confused us non-Grecians. Greeks completely misspelled the name of their language to piss off the Romans. If the Roman invaders ever learned the language of Hellenia, then all the pixies would come and kill the Greeks. So, the Greeks, with this method, confused the Romans, until the Romans conducted a siege of Greece. No one actually speaks Classical Greek. Experts agree, no one could possibly make up something this stupid and not implode from sheer idiocy midway through conceiving such an unintelligible, broken dialect. Instead, the Greek language was designed, as are most things of Greek origin, to irritate and confuse American Tourists. This has freed the Greeks from having to provide directions to the British Museum, as well as answer questions such as: "How do I pronounce the word Gyro?" "Why do you all shave your chests?" "That's not really a language, is it?"
