　　Greek was the official language of the Byzantine Empire from the 4th to the 15th century and thereafter continued to be spoken by Greeks under Turkish rule. Modern Greek began to take shape about the 9th century, and became the official language of the kingdom of Greece in the 19th. Today Greek is spoken by about 10 million people, including some 500,000 on the island of Cyprus. In addition to the common speech, known as Demotic, an imitation of classical Greek, known as Pure, has been revived for literary purposes.

Such prefixes as poly- （much, many）, , micro- （small）, anti- （against）, auto- （self）, hemi- （half）, hetero- （different）, chrono- （time）, tele- （distance）, geo- （earth）, physio- （nature）, photo- （light）, hydro- （water）, litho- （stone）, phono- （sound）, anthropo- -（man）, psycho- （mind）, and philo- （love）, each generate dozens of vital words in scientific, technical, and other fields. Equally important Greek suffixes are -meter （measure）, -gram （letter）, -graph （write）, -scope （see）, -phone （sound）, and -phobia （fear）.
