The Greek-Speaking World

No other language in Europe has held such fascination on the Western world as the Greek language has. Maybe it is either because of its rich and still surviving mythological traits, or because it remains as a language enigmatic to most people, the fact is that Greek is a language spoken out of Greece mainly due to the large immigration of its citizens throughout the ages and world:
