Around 13 million people - mostly in Greece and Cyprus (where it is one of two official languages) - speak the modern form of Greek. However, Greek speakers are by far, more international than in South-eastern Europe and can be encountered in the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia where they all form a significant (and growing) diaspora.
