 ==Description==
+The official language of Greece is standard modern Greek, ''Dimotiki''. Most materials used in Greek research are written in Greek. Before 1976, most records were written in formal Greek, ''Katharevousa'', a literary form of the language which resembles ancient Greek. However, you do not need to speak or read Greek to research Greek records. You will need to know the Greek alphabet and some ''key words and phrases'' to understand the records. Many of the records of the Catholic church are in Latin and Italian, some military records during the period of King Otto are in German, and the records of the Greek Orthodox Church are in ''Katharevousa''.
