Greek's incredibly diverse vocabulary also influenced and contributed to modern English. Thirteen point two percent of Modern day English is derived from the vocabulary of ancient Greece. Greek's written language has also influenced the creation of the English alphabet. The Greek alphabet produced many letters that are similar to the English.
