1. Macedonian (Slavic dialects)
  • Spoken by a small number of people in northern Greece, especially near the border with North Macedonia.
  • Often referred to as "Slavomacedonian" in Greece, but politically sensitive.

2. Turkish
  • Spoken by the Muslim minority in Western Thrace, who are officially recognized under the Treaty of Lausanne (1923).
  • The community includes ethnic Turks, Pomaks, and Roma.
3. Albanian Dialects
  • Arvanitika: A dialect of Albanian spoken by the Arvanites, an ethnic group mainly in central and southern Greece. It is declining, especially among younger generations.
  • Tosk Albanian: Spoken by more recent Albanian immigrants.
4. Romani
  • Spoken by the Romani (Roma) communities scattered throughout the country.
  • Often bilingual with Greek.
5. Vlach (Aromanian)

  • Related to Romanian but distinct.
6. Pontic Greek, Cappadocian Greek
  • Dialects historically spoken by Greeks from Asia Minor and the Black Sea region.
  • Still spoken in some communities, especially among descendants of refugees from the population exchange with Turkey in the 1920s.
Other Languages
  • English, French, and German are widely studied as foreign languages in schools.
  • English is particularly common in tourism, business, and among younger Greeks.
  • Due to immigration, languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Georgian, and Arabic are also spoken in some communities.
