Greek and Latin are considered sisters by linguists.Their father is Proto Indo European.As is the father if Indian and Russian languages.Ego is I in Greek and Latin. One confusing thing is the word homo.In Greek it means same like homogenized milk or same sex……………..The Latin on the other hand means man like homo sapian. It morphed int homme and hombre and om(rom)
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Nope the greek was before the latin.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
that’s a good one.. i wonder what the answer is myself..
because some of our words are greek. but i thought greek was before latin. i dunno.
i wonder where greek got their words from because theres no way they got it from latin.. no way
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
No, I believe that Greek existed before Latin.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I believe not, I think they are 2 unrelated languages.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Its all greek to me
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Other way around. Latin actually gets some words (though not many) from Greek (since the Ancient Greeks were the older culture).
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I believe the Greeks were around before the Romans introduced Latin
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Classical Greek and classical Latin are different languages completely. The Greek alphabet is even different, using only 24 letters, rather than the 26 that Latin incorporates. As time passed, and the Greek people were gradually assimilated into the Roman Empire, many Greek words and expressions and even mythology were absorbed into the Roman/Latin culture… but the language origins are different.

Not all European Languages came from Latin. Only the romance Languages come from Latin: Spanish, Italian, Romanian, French and Portuguese.
English comes from a Germanic root.
Greek is it’s own root language with Macedonian, Albanian and Serbian among others coming from it.
All of the languages of Europe with the exception of Norse, Swedish and Danish come from a grouping called the Indo-European Group.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Nope. Greek is older than Latin. It has the longest recorded history of any language, dating back to the 9th century B.C. Latin was actually derived from the Greek language.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Greek is one of the oldest natural languages, dating back to 3,500 years. Latin is another Indo-European with pretty much the same age than Greek but Greek influenced Latin, particularly the alphabet. We could say that Latin is a language originated from Greek, though both of them date back to 9th-8th C BC.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Greek is the longest surviving natural language and has been spoken for 3, 500 years, which means it predates the emergence of Latin.
It is classified as an Indo-European language and its earliest form is Mycenean Greek, which was spoken around the 15th century BC. It’s closest linguistic relatives appear to be ancient Macedonian (on offshoot of Greek) and Phrygian. Interestingly, of all the Indo-European languages, Greek is the only language considered to be truly independent. There are some similarities between Ancient Greek and Vedic Sanskrit, suggesting a common Proto-Indo-European linguistic ancestry.
Latin did not appear until the 8th century BC was mostly influenced by Phoenician and and Etruscan. The Latin alphabet was influenced by the Greek alphabet, although the linguistic development of Latin is utterly distinct from that of Greek.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Greek and Latin are both Indo-European languages. Greek is its own branch. Latin is part of the Italic branch.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
With the exception of Hungarian, European languages are believed to have come from "proto Indo-European". Latin and Greek are both offshoots from this language so, if you go back far enough, they have a common source but they are totally separate languages. Latin based languages are in the Romance family, northern European languages are in the Teutonic family. English is largely Teutonic but has been influenced by Latin. Another family in Europe are the Celtic languages such as Gaelic. All are Indo-European.

Thomas G,
You are correct, not all languages come from Latin. All these people are so ignorant of others’ languages.
I gave you a "thumbs up".
Also don’t forget:
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Burmese/Myanmar, Tagalog, Indian, Pakistani/Urdu, Manchu, & most other Asian and African languages, Russian, Czech, Finnish, Hebrew, Arabic, etc… aren’t derived from Latin either.
