| Dec 20, 2016 at 7:38 | comment | added | Midas | @RobertColumbia Spanish, French and other Romance languages are a result of the development of Latin that was been adopted by non-Latin populations. This condition affected their development more than Greek, that is currently mostly spoken in areas it was native to or that were not too far from the Greek speaking core. | |
| Dec 19, 2016 at 15:44 | comment | added | user138118 | @RobertColumbia: French, Italian, Spanish and other Romance languages are perceived in public perception as languages different from Latin. Greek is publically perceived as one language with several historical stages (Mycenaean, Ancient, Koine, Byzantine, Modern). | |
| Dec 19, 2016 at 15:39 | comment | added | Robert Columbia | How is Greek different from Latin in this respect? Surely a question on modern French or Spanish would be off-topic for a Latin.SE. | |
| Dec 18, 2016 at 18:45 | comment | added | Midas | I agree with all the points above, especially the 2nd one. There might be questions about modern Greek that will require someone with expertice in the history of the Greek language to answer. Many questions about modern Greek might have their answers in ancient Greek. | |
| Dec 16, 2016 at 13:14 | comment | added | Toothrot | I don't think the 3rd point is relevant; modern Greek questions are 'all Greek' as you put it to most people interested in classical Greek, and vice versa. Besides I did not say Greek should be combined with Latin, only that it would be better to combine it with Latin than modern Greek. | |
