Fun fact: the Latin alphabet is also Greek in origin, taken to the Italian peninsula by Greek colonies. In the Greek city-states of antiquity there were many alphabets. Until in the 5th century BC in Athens, all alphabets were brought together and unified into one, the one we have today, minus 4 letters which were removed in the era of the Roman Empire.

Πάμε ελληνικά! Πάμε Ελλάδα! 🇬🇷 δεν είμαι Έλληνας χαχα, αλλά, διαβάζω ελληνικά τώρα και μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ αυτή η γλώσσα ❤ I am studying Greek right now and I love it. It just makes me sad that you hardly ever see content on the Greek language like this. It's not a very popular language but I think it should be. It's a very beautiful, complex, and intriguing language. It's also very ancient. I wish more people saw the beauty in it and studied it

Hellenic is older than Latin!
Latin alphabet was based on Hellenic.
They might be confusing for them but you are all using Hellenic letters.
Slavs too! The Cyrillic alphabet was invented by two Hellene🇬🇷 monks based on the alphabet they knew: Hellenic.
They used that alphabet to write the language of the Rus and convert the Slavic people to Orthodoxy!

Something that very few people know is that if you say the names of the letters you are making a prayer to the Sun!
Every time that you are saying the alphabet you are praying to the eternal and life-giving light of the Sun-God Apollo!

The Spanish girl talking about Greek words as brands, I've seen a TED-talk, a linguist gave his own, kind of relevant interpretation about it. The companies which decide to use a Greek word as their name have slightly higher chances to succeed. All I remember, I was amazed by his conclusion and some data he provided. He's talking generally how powerful the Greek language can be and how is still shaping us, despite of the widespread use of English.

Greek letters were learned in primary school in Argentina, and we used them for math.
Transformers is Unicron, not Omicron Andrea...
Greek is similar to Russian because Cyrillic is a writing system made by Orthodox Christians when they expanded Christianity into the pagan lands of the Kievan Rus. It is based on classical Greek alphabet adapted for the old Russian sounds.

As Greeks when we are kids we naturally learn the greek alphabet first and then the Latin alphabet after a year or two, when most kids start learning English. It's funny and confusing because when I was little I used to read all the English words and English signs in the streets in a greek way. For example I would read the "STOP" sign as "STOR" because a P is an R in Greek

In Spanish, when we use greek letters in Maths or Physics, we call τ tau (pronounced taoo), ν nu (pronounced noo) and μ mu (pronounced moo), φ is fi (pronounced fee)
θ is theta (pronounced teta), but δ is delta, ρ is ro, γ is gamma... I suppose psi, sigma, omicron, lambda don't change in other languages, but maybe I'm wrong.

Amazing how Greek words and letters actually have massive influence in many fields, yet it's not really a popular language to learn for most people.
