Greek is the main language spoken in [[Greece]]. Today, it is spoken by approximately 15 million people, mostly in Greece. Greek has been written in the Greek alphabet since the 9th century BC. An older version of it, known as [[Koine Greek]] (or "New Testament Greek") was the lingua franca of the Roman Empire during the time of [[Jesus]]. A Greek is also a person from Greece, and is used in the [[New Testament]] to describe either people from Greece, or those who weren't Jews.
