   {Roman}.]
   Of or relating to modern Greece, and especially to its
   language. -- n. The modern Greek language, now usually called
   by the Greeks {Hellenic} or {Neo-Hellenic}.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: The Greeks at the time of the capture of Constantinople
         were proud of being "Romai^oi, or Romans . . . Hence
         the term Romaic was the name given to the popular
         language. . . . The Greek language is now spoken of as
         the Hellenic language. --Encyc. Brit.
