Greek (<span class="autonym">Ελληνικά</span>) is a European bicameral
alphabet, written left-to-right (11 million users). Used to write the Greek
language since the 8th century BCE. Also used to write other languages like
Urum, Albanian Tosk, and Balkan Gagauz Turkish. Some symbols are also used in
scientific notation. Derived from Phoenician. First “true alphabet”, with
distinct letters for consonants and vowels. Standardized in the 4th century
BCE by Eucleides. Has 24 letters. Some letter variants (sigma: σ/ς) have
positional significance in the Greek language, other variants only differ in
meaning in scientific notation (e.g. pi: π/ϖ). The Greek language used to be
written in polytonic spelling, with three accents on vowels. In 1982, Greece
introduced monotonic spelling with a single diacritic. Needs software support
for complex text layout (shaping). Read more on
