The Greek Language of the classical period continued in use during the Middle Ages, and survived as a court language at the Byzantine capital of Constantinople, and as a language of cult in the descendent of these. Although it has dialects, some of them spoken in parts in Anatolia until the exchange of population between Greek and Turkey in 1922, it has never subdivided into a separate family of languages in the way that Latin did. It began to do so in the aftermath of the empire of Alexander the Great, but in most areas Greek was ultimately replaced by other local tongues. A version of Greek is, however, still spoken in parts of southern Italy -- a last remnant there of the colonies of the classical period. ~ Page 63 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Renfrew
