The Byzantine Empire was formed from the remenants of the Old Eastern Roman Empire, which spoke primarily Greek with Latin as a secondary Language, unlike the west which by the time of the Byzantines, spoke Latin with secondary Greek.

Greek was the main language of the Byzantine Empire which is why spo many citites have Greek Names where today Greek is not spoken

Such as Damascus, Antioch, Ankara, Nicaea, Persepolis, Varna, Alexandria, Thebes, Amman, Beirut, Tripoli, etc
