The Greek alphabet is even different, using only 24 letters, rather than the 26 that Latin incorporates.

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. Not all European Languages came from Latin.

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. Nope.
