It was begun by the third century BCE and completed before 132 BCE (the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures).[4] Koine is the main ancestor of modern Greek Modern Greek refers to the varieties of Greek spoken in the modern era. The beginning of the "modern" period of the language is often symbolically assigned to the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453, even though that date marks no clear linguistic boundary and many characteristic modern features of the language had been present.
