[Foundation-l] Ancient Greek Wikipedia

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Greek is understood to be understood to have several
branches<http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=90066>.
Koine is according to Ethnologue part of "Ancient Greek". This is Greek
until 1453 AD according to the ISO standard. Now when the definition of
"Ancient" is wrongly applied, get this addressed at the appropriate places.
This is the right way to approach this. Again, this is most likely to lead
to a new code to acknowledge modern usage.
Thanks,
      GerardM
