The history of the Greek language can be traced back to 3^rd millennium BC when it was spoken in the Balkan Peninsula. Greek belongs to the Indo-European language family. Your Greek translator should understand this history.

Greek word forms  have a great influence in the world's scientific and technical vocabulary, and make up a large part of the technical vocabulary of many languages.

Many words from Greek have found their way into other European languages including Canadian English. Some argue that as many as 8% of the English words have Greek origins.  These words may be found in math, physics, philosophy, astronomy and many other parts of life. Until relatively recently, (the 1960’s) two dialects of Greek existed simultaneously. But in 1976, Dimotika was declared as the official language of Greece. Some of the key grammatical traits include pronoun declension for four cases and a lack of infinitives while other traits are similar to English for example subject verb agreement and articles preceding the noun.  Our Greek translators are able to apply this history to provide an accurate Greek to English translation.

In Greek, verbs have synthetic inflection forms for mood, voice, number, person, aspect and tense. Greek has a very extensive vocabulary with many modern inclusions from English.
