About Greek Language
Greek is the official language of Greece, Cyprus and the European Union. Albania, Armenia, Italy, Romania and Ukraine recognize Greek as an official minority language. Greek is spoken by more than 13 million people around the world, with many diaspora communities scattered around North America and Europe. Greek is the preferred language in Greece with nearly all citizens attaining a high level fluency.
The Greek alphabet has been the writing style of Greek and remains unchanged since ancient Greece. Many letters of the Greek alphabet are common in western culture. Particularly these letters are prominent signs and characters in the fields of mathematics, finance and the sciences. Greek symbols are also a popular foundation in “Greek Life” on many college campuses North America. Many English vocabulary words have also been borrowed from the Greek lexicon. Some examples include academy, mathematics, democracy and philosophy.
While many natives of Greece speak Greek, some natives may be fluent in English, French, Spanish or Italian. Knowledge of more than one language is more common in youth and immigrants than it is for the elderly population of Greece. Greek is categorized under the Indo-European language group and belongs to the Hellenic subgroup of languages.

Why is Greek translation needed?
There are Greek communities and families who have moved countries like the U.S., Canada, Australia and the UK to start businesses and begin new lives. These communities and businesses often need Greek to English translation for restaurant menus, legal forms, business transactions, and much more.
In addition to the many Greek communities and businesses that need translation for their businesses and personal documents, there are many old dialects of the Greek language. Old and even ancient dialects require Greek to English translation in several industries. For instance, many ancient Grecian historical texts are written in several dialects that contain obsolete letters – only translators with specific experience and skills can provide a truly accurate Greek to English translation. To ensure the best Greek language translation for any important business, technical, academic or legal document, you need professional human translators.
