Thats a ridiculous statement. The Byzantines spoke, wrote, thought in Greek. It was a Greek based culture.

Dude, Constantine I moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople. In fact that's how the city got renamed. About the same time, the Eastern Orthodox church broke with the Catholic church. Speaking Greek was considered s sign of refinement and education. I doubt the man in the street in Constantinople spoke Greek....since he was living in Turkey.
