Modern Greek
proper noun
- The Greek language as spoken by the Greek people since the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and as Early Modern Greek up to 1669 (fall of Candia, Crete). It was written using polytonic script until 1982, when this was officially dropped in favour of monotonic. Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet.
