What is the language in Greece?

Answer 1

The main and official language of Greece is Modern Greek. Moreover, there are some minority languages:

• There are some Hellenic dialects that are so different from mainstream Greek that they qualify as distinct languages, notably Tsakonian. Modern Greek dialects all derive from Koine or the Common Dialect, the mixture of earlier Greek dialects that came into being as a result of Alexander the great's exploits. Tsakonian is based on a dialect that existed before Alexander. This is why it is drastically different from Koine-based modern Greek.
• There are recent immigrants from Albania in Greece, but moreover, there are older Albanian-speaking communities. Their language is for natural causes heavily influenced by Greek and known as Arvanitika.
• During the Armenian genocide, thousands of Armenian refugees settled in Greece, and their language is still spoken by a substantial community in the country.
• There are thousands of Aromanians in Greece. Their language is related to Romanian (the language of Romania) but nevertheless very different from it, strongly influenced by Greek as it is.
• There are several small minority groups in Greece who speak Slavic languages or dialects most similar to Bulgarian, such as the Pomaks, who are Bulgarian-speaking Muslims.
• There are also some sort of Turkic-speakers in Greece.
