  • Greek (Ελληνικά) is an Indo-European language. Native to the region around the Aegean Sea, it became widespread across Europe and Asia during antiquity, and today is still widely spoken as a second language across much of the Mediterranean. Greek languages have the longest documented history of any Indo-European branch, spanning some 3400 years of written history, and the Greek alphabet and its descendents have been adapted for use by many other languages. Greek is today an official language in Romania, Egypt, Albania and Palestine. It is also spoken by many in Bulgaria, Vlachia, Crimea, Armenia and Kurdistan, and there are small Greek-speaking communities in Africa, Italy and Hungary - a remnant from when those countries were under Roman rule. In addition, as a secondary liturgical language of Islam, it is also a language of scholarship studied by many in secondary and higher education all over the world.
