What language can you compare to Greek?

Question

In conjugations, verbs, difficulty, etc....

Answer 1

It is tempting to compare Latin grammar most closely with that of Greek, especially because of the close historical association that the ancient Greeks and Romans had with each other.

However, at least one scholar, Kelley L. Ross Phd believes that Greek morphology compares more favorably with the Indo-Iranian group of languages which includes Old Persian and Sanskrit. Please see the internet link below:

In part of this article Dr.Ross writes: " Latin does not have a dual number, a middle voice, or anaorist tense, which both Greek and Sanskrit share. These features draw Greek away from Latin, to be more closely associated with the Indo-Aryan languages."

What he calls the "Indo-Aryan" languages are also called (more often) the "Indo-Iranian languages.

Answer 2

i cant compare it with any other language, i learned latin, i speak another 3 languages but the difficulty of greek is nowhere else to be found! greek is my mother tongue but still there are grammar things that i confuse. latin has less tenses and a lot smaller vocabulary, also a very easy pronunciation and spelling. in greek we have 5 different way to write 'i' and 2 to write 'o' etc etc.
