Who invented the Greek language?

It's important to understand that languages don't have a single inventor. They evolve over time, influenced by many factors. So, there's no single person who "invented" the Greek language.

Here's what we do know:

* Proto-Greek: The language that evolved into Ancient Greek is thought to be Proto-Greek, spoken by people who migrated to the Greek peninsula around the 3rd millennium BC. This language is considered a common ancestor of Greek and other languages in the Indo-European family.

* Linear B: This script, used for writing Mycenaean Greek (a form of Ancient Greek), dates back to around 1450 BC. While the script is relatively well-understood, there are still aspects of Mycenaean Greek that are not fully deciphered.

* Homeric Greek: The language of the epics attributed to Homer, around the 8th century BC, is another important stage in the development of Ancient Greek.

* Koine Greek: This "common" form of Greek emerged during the Hellenistic period and became the language of trade and administration throughout the Eastern Mediterranean.

So, while no single person invented Greek, the language developed over centuries through the contributions of numerous speakers, writers, and cultural influences.
