Greek is natively known as Ελληνικά and belongs to the Indo-European, Hellenic language family.
There are approximately 13.5 million native speakers worldwide.
Greek has the longest documented history of any living Indo-European language, with written records spanning over 3,400 years from the Mycenaean era to the present.
The Greek alphabet, developed around 800 BCE, was the first to include separate vowel and consonant letters, and became the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
Modern Greek (Demotic) became the sole official language of Greece in 1976, replacing the formal Katharevousa variety, ending a diglossia that had lasted over a century.
Greek has contributed more words to the English language than any other language except Latin, particularly in scientific, medical, philosophical, and technical vocabulary.
The Greek word order is relatively flexible due to its inflectional nature, with four grammatical cases, three genders, and definite/indefinite articles.
Australia has one of the largest Greek diaspora communities in the world, with Melbourne often cited as having the largest Greek-speaking population outside Greece. Over 400,000 Australians claim Greek ancestry. Mass migration occurred in the 1950s-70s under assisted migration programs. Greek cultural life is vibrant, with Greek Orthodox churches, language schools, festivals like Antipodes, and precincts like Oakleigh in Melbourne and Marrickville in Sydney.
About Tempe
Tempe is a suburb in the inner west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Tempe is located 9 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of Marrickville Council. Tempe sits on the northern bank of the Cooks River and is separated from Sydney Airport by the Alexandra Canal, also known as Sheas Creek.
The Wolli Creek waterway also empties into the Cooks River near Tempe. Tempe was named after the mansion on the southern banks of the Cooks River in the area that is now known as Wolli Creek. Alexander Brodie Spark (1792–1856), an immigrant from Elgin, Scotland, built Tempe House in 1836. It was named after the 'Vale of Tempe', a beautiful valley in ancient Greek legend set at the foot of Mount Olympus in Greece. Tempe House, designed by John Verge (1772–1861), has a Georgian feel and is regarded as one of the great houses of Sydney.
Spark also donated money towards the purchase of land and the building of St Peter’s Church of England, which gave its name to the suburb of St Peters, to the north of Tempe.
