Um... Greek? Greek is written in Greek. "Hellenic" if you wanna get really fancy.

Oh, and to the person below... it's not Cyrillic. Cyrillic is used for (most) Slavic languages... Cyrillic evolved from Greek. Greek came a couple thousand years before, though.

EDIT AGAIN: Seriously people! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_alphabet Read the alphabet timeline to the right! The Greek alphabet is NOT Cyrillic!!! As an Ancient Greece obsessed Russian-Jew, I'm very offended that so many people confuse them!

One thing is sure: Cyrillic stems from Greek.
Latin Alphabet stems from Greek.
Greek language has had too many evolutions by those Eons passing by; The alphabet, the authentic one was formed as the Dorics, Ionians and Achaeans started moving South and conquered the Balkan Peninsula. Homeric Alphabet was the culmination of that mixture of cultures. Latin Alphabet stems directly from Homeric-Greek one.(which was identical to....!)
Phoenicians and Arab letters, such the Alpha, Alef in Arabic, meaning Buffalo head, had had a tremendous influence over Greek letters.-
Encyclopedias can tell more, but-unfortunately- the time span is great, the gap is immense in order to be 120% sure about it. Besides, US today was not in sales..those Eons!
