Collection: Greek

Greek is an ancient language from southern Europe. It comes from Greece, a country known for its history and culture. This language has been spoken for over 3,000 years. Today, Greek is the official language of Greece and Cyprus. About 13 million people speak it. Many words in science, philosophy, and the arts come from Greek. No language is exactly like Greek, but it shares some history with Latin, the old language of the Romans. Still, they're quite different. If you see a word in another language with "ph", "th", or "ch", it might have Greek roots. Greek letters are also used in math and science.
