<h4>Greek</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
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
