Greek language
Greek is a direct descendant of the Indo-European language spoken by civilizations in the northeastern Mediterranean for centuries before Christ.
The Greek language, in its several variations, has been used to record each step in an unbroken literary tradition stretching almost 3,000. Modern Greek retains many of the linguistic qualities, and a high degree of unity, from its original stock.
Ancient and modern Greek are both written in the Greek alphabet, which consists of 24 letters. The word alphabet comes from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha and beta.
