Greek pretty much has its own branch in the Indo-European language family tree. In the Hellenic arm, there are several iterations of the same language, going down to Modern Greek. Other than a few English and Turkish words, it is fairly purebred in its sounds, and structures. Greeks are a proud people, and their language reflects that pride, to maintain a pure language, passed down almost without blemish from the time of the classical epics. Since then, they have dropped the use of the many different types of accents, making a much simpler language which is easier to learn and read.
