| | Ask For Greece! Greece: Greek Language |
 | | Ionic, therefore, became the primary literary language of ancient Greece until the ascendency of Athens in the late fifth century. |
 | | Greek was the official language of the Eastern Roman Empire (or Byzantine Empire), until Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453. |
 | | Greek, like all of the older Indo-European languages, is highly inflected, for example, nouns (including proper nouns) have five cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and vocative), three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), and three numbers (singular, dual and plural). |
