Greek is an Indo-European language. But it has no known connection with any other family of Indo-European languages. The Indo-European language family appears to find its ultimate origins in the area of the present-day Ukraine. The original ancestor of the Indo-European language family is called proto-Indo-European. Its origins are somewhere east of the Greenwich Meridian and west of the International Date Line. In terms of continents, that's looking at Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa as points of origin. Specifically, Greek appears to be traceable only as far back as the 8th century before the Christian era. The roots and stems to the words in the Greek vocabulary originate in their Indo-European language ancestors. But thus far the how, when, where, and why of that origination is unknown.
