What year was the Greek language founded?

The Greek language doesn't have a specific "founding" year like an organization or institution. It evolved over a long period, with roots in the Proto-Greek language that existed around 2000 BC.

Here's a breakdown of the evolution:

* Proto-Greek: This ancestor of Greek is believed to have been spoken around 2000 BC.

* Mycenaean Greek: This form of Greek, written in Linear B script, was used in the Mycenaean civilization from around 1600 to 1100 BC.

* Ancient Greek: This is the language of Homer, Plato, Aristotle, and the classical period, lasting from around 800 BC to 300 AD.

* Koine Greek: This common language evolved from Ancient Greek and was spoken throughout the Hellenistic period (323 BC – 146 BC) and the Roman Empire.

* Modern Greek: This evolved from Koine Greek and is spoken today in Greece and Cyprus.

So, while there's no single founding year, the Proto-Greek language that started the journey existed around 2000 BC.
