	Greek Language - LoveToKnow 1911
		Greek is one of the eight main branches into which the Indo-European languages are divided.
		The Greek language, at any rate as it has come down to us, is remarkably perfect, in vowel sounds being the most primitive of any of the Indo-European languages, while its verb system has no rival in completeness except in the earliest Sanskrit of the Vedic literature.
		It is hardly necessary to say that these changes, whether of the or of modern Greek, did not of necessity impair the powers of the language as an organ of expression; if elaborate inflection were a necessity for the highest literary merit, then we must prefer C ae dmon to Milton and Cynewulf to Shakespeare.

		Historically, a large part of this contribution is due to the classical languages, Greek and Latin, since the west European civilization based itself on the precepts of Greek rationalistic thought, the Roman institutions and the Christian religion, as well as on the vitality of the younger strong European nations.
