A Map of the Areas of Influence of the Ancient Roman and Greek Languages

I created this graphic to show how the Latin and Greek languages can have such a large influence on modern English and other European languages. As you can see, the two languages were spoken throughout all of early western civilization. The Latin area corresponds roughly to the Roman Empire. The Greek area is the Athenian Empire.

The graphic is sized to fit a PowerPoint or Keynote slide perfectly. Use it for your own PPT if you want. Jsut click on it to get to the full-size version, then copy and paste it into your presentation.

I created this graphic for a high school level PowerPoint presentation on etymology.
