Ancient Greek is closer to modern Greek than Old English is to modern English. I think it's more like Latin and Italian. The following comment is peculiar: "'common' Greek, the sort of Greek that can be compared to well-spoken illegal immigrants from Central American in the United States. Accented, using slang, etc." It's possible that ''legal'' immigrants from Europe, Asia, and Africa also speak English with an accent. I think koine was more of a simplified standard language than slang. Ancient Greek and Latin are both Indo-European languages and share many cognates and grammatical categories. Ancient Greek also shares many grammatical features and vocabulary with Sanskrit and is closer to Sanskrit than it is to Latin.
