Greek is the language of ancient and modern [[Greece]]; it is also the language in which the [[New Testament]] was written and the [[Septuagint]] (the Greek Translation of the Old Testament). Early [[Christianity]] spread and became popular through use of the Greek language, which was the common trade language of the entire [[Roman Empire]]  The early Greek language no longer exists in a spoken form today, modern Greek being a different form. Ancient Greek is well perceived to be significant in the propagation of all great Religions, most of all Christianity. The language is divided up into three moods and three voices; the three moods being the indicative, subjunctive and optative, and the three voices being the active, passive and middle. Greek's syntax and linguistic structure is not dissimilar to Latin, with several words sharing intrisically profound links with one another (for example, the word "pater"). However, Ancient Greek is notorious for the insanely large proportion of irregular verbs; the scholar LA Wilding has calaculated that most verbs show some degree of inconsistency. Consequently, it has resulted in increased 'bullying' of certain students, such as the pagan feminist Lewis Newburn, in the hands of Alice Jacobs, who has commited far more terrible crimes as instigator.   
    
Modern Greek is the modern variety of the Greek language, but separate from ancient Greek.  It is the primary language of Greece and Cyprus.
