When was the Greek language invented?

The Greek language has a long history, with its earliest written records dating back to around the 14th century BCE, during the Mycenaean period. This early form of Greek is found in Linear B inscriptions. Over the centuries, the language evolved through various dialects, leading to the Classical Greek of the 5th century BCE and eventually to modern Greek. Thus, while the roots of the Greek language can be traced back over three millennia, it has continuously evolved throughout history.
