Greek is the official language of Greece. But what other languages are spoken in Greece by others peoples living there? Are there any? If so, how many other languages do people speak in Greece?

I dont know exactly how to answer to you; There are many dialects..... with many differences and it is difficult to understand them even if you speak the official Greek. For example, Pontians, Cretans, Cypriots, or distant mountainus villagers. Except the dialects there are also idioms which are very mixed with the languages of neighboring countries for example Vlachs (with many Latin elements), Arvanites (with many Tosk elements), West Macedonians (with many Bulgarian elements), Asia Minor Greeks (with many Turkish elements), Ionian islands (with many Italian elements) .. etc etc etc. Also there is one more language for the Greeks of "Magna Grecia" in South Italy, the Grecano. It is more Italian with many ancient Greek elements. Ancient Greek are common in the language of Pontians in the Black Sea and the ones in South Italy due to the fact that those people were isolated from the rest of the Greeks and that is how their language had no evolution to Modern Greek like the rest of the Greeks. Despite the idioms, dialects or "left overs" from occupations... everybody speaks the official modern Greek language and that is practical. I hope I helped you.

This is hog-wash.
There is no Macedonian language.
The Branches of Languages either Greek based, Albanian, Slavic, Romanian (Latin based) and Turcic.

The other stuff is Bull.****.

I want for this site to write the etymology of any of the Macedonian language that is not Turcic or Slavic.

In the branches of the Indo-europian languages or the Ural-Altaic (Turcic) languages, no where is there a separate branch of Macedonian.

Demosthenes you are continuing with disinformation. But your attempt can not withstand even elementary scrutiny.

To be fair, Kostas, can anyone write the etymology of the Akkadian, Iberian, Koguryo, North Picene or Sicanian languages?

Around that area those are the only branches of Indoeuropean and Ural-Altaic languages spoken.

Educate yourself!

And don't try to educate us that live here, on what languages are spoken in our area.
