What languages are spoken in Greece?

Answer 1

The official language of Greece is Greek.

This breaks up into many dialects of Greek with subtle changes in pronunciation and so a Macedonian Greek, a Greek from Athens or Epirus and a Greek from the island of Crete will all understand each other very easily. This has its origins back to the time of Alexander the great who took the four strands of Greek language, Doric, Attic, Ionian and Aeolic and created a common language which was named koine meaning common. There is a minority group of speakers in the state of Thrace who speak Turkish and many Greeks on the borders of Greece also speak an idiom of their neighbors.
The Greeks spoke and still speak Greek.

There are different forms of Greek (like English has Old English, Middle English etc)

• Mycenaean Greek, (16th to 11th centuries BC)
• Ancient Greek, (c. 1000-330 BC)
• Koine Greek , (c. 330 BC-330 AD)
• Medieval Greek or Byzantine Greek, (330-1453 AD)
• Modern Greek, (from 1453 AD)
