Greek is an Indo-European Language. Originally, there had been three versions of the Greek Language. One of them was almost the same as the ancient language used in India to write the Upanishads, an early Hindu holy book. (That is how the Indo-European Language family was discovered. It is interesting to use Grimm's laws of Consonant change and see the relationship between Hebrew and the Indo-European Languages, but that is another subject.) The Greek language spoken today is derived from Koine Greek developed by Alexander the great, a Greek Emperor. He standardized Greek grammar and created a language that was spoken throughout the Eastern Mediterranean world.
