Koin\u00e8 is the universal dialect derived from the Greek language that was spoken during the period between 300 BC and 300 AD.<\/p>\n<p>It is only after the post-classical period that differences in tone and use of vocabulary will be noticed. This mix of Greeks spoken on this island is explained by the multiple conquests made on the island by different peoples. Another factor that justifies this change is the distance between the island and the border countries in which the modern Greek we know is spoken.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the elders of the region are unanimous on the fact that a Cretan will have no difficulty in speaking with their ancestors: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/cnossos-visiter-conseils\/\">Knossos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is only in 2005 that this language (Cretan Greek) will be recognized by the European Union as an official language, a language in its own right and not a dialect spoken occasionally by a large community of inhabitants.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_languages_spoken_in_Crete\"><\/span>Other languages spoken in Crete<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5387\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5387\" class=\"wp-image-231 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/langues-crete.jpg\" alt=\"Can we speak English in Greece?\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/langues-crete.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/langues-crete-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.la-crete-autrement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/langues-crete-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crete: an international island above all!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If Crete is above all a tourist island, it is therefore natural that other languages are spoken in order to facilitate the various exchanges.
