	Greek language - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: Dhimotikí (Δημοτική), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and Katharévusa (Καθαρεύουσα), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, and scientific purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Greek words have been widely borrowed into the European languages: astronomy, democracy, philosophy, thespian, etc. Moreover, Greek words and word elements continue to be productive as a basis for coinages: anthropology, photography, isomer, etc. and form, with Latin words, the foundation of international scientific and technical vocabulary.
		Greek is the official language of the Hellenic Republic (Greece) where it is spoken by about 98.5% of the population.

	MARC Code List for Languages
		While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
		Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.
		The entry for a language group is also similar to that for an individual language, with the addition of a list of the individual languages which have been assigned that group code.

	Ask A Linguist FAQ: Oldest Language
		To take one interesting case, the Albanian language (spoken north of Greece) was not written down until about the 15th century AD, yet Ptolemy mentions the people in the first century BC.* The linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests that Albanians were a distinct people for even longer than that.
		It's true that there was a spoken form of Greek in 1500 BC during the Bronze Age, but if a Bronze Age Greek was transported to Modern Athens, he or she would probably not be able to understand Modern Greek.
		Languages are continuously evolving over time, and probably most languages, even conservative ones, require special training in order for modern speakers to fully understand older texts.

	Greek and Latin Translation Tips
		Greek and Latin are inflected languages, which means that the construction of the words is changed to convey meaning.
		If we were expressing this in an inflected language, we would change the root words to reflect their grammatical role: each noun in the sentence adopts a case which tells us whether the word is the subject, the direct object, the indirect object, a possessive, or some other construction.
		Greek and Latin are often called word-based morphologies, meaning they rely on the word as the unit of meaning.
