 | | Medieval Greek: The continuation of Hellenistic Greek during medieval Greek history as the official and vernacular language of the Byzantine Empire, and continued to be used until, and after the fall of that Empire in the 15th century. |
 | | Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: Dhimotikà (ΔημοÏική), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and Katharévusa (ÎαθαÏεÏοÏ
Ïα, meaning "purified"), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, administrative and scientific purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries. |
