Greek language |
 | | The Greek language, called Hellenic or Ellenika (Ελληνικά) by the people who speak and write it, is an Indo-European language, born in Greece and once spoken also along the coast of Asia Minor and in southern Italy. |
 | | Modern Greek is a living tongue and one of the richest surviving languages today, with more than 600,000 words. |
 | | Greek, like all of the older Indo-European languages, is highly inflected—for example, nouns have five cases, three genders, and three numbers, verbs have three moods, three voices, as well as three persons and three numbers and various other forms. |
