The Hellenic languages are a branch of languages from the Indo-European language family. The main language is Greek. Many people say that Greek is the only language in the branch.[2][3] Some people also say that the ancient Macedonian language is part of the branch.[4] Others say it was simply a dialect of Greek.[5]
