"Αυτός μιλάει Αγγλικά."

Translation: He speaks English.

[Euanjoc8]

I'm guessing that Greek uses capital letters for languages and countries like in English and unlike in many European languages - is that correct?

[Avi.Ps]

So Αγγλικά is written with two Γ but pronounced like ΝΓ? Its sounds like the voice is reading anglika

[teopap2]

It sounds right, γγ and γκ are pronounced as either "g" or "ng".

[margrankin]

ΓΓis the actual transliteration of "NG" . Example Angel-Άγγελος.

“NG" is the actual transliteration of ΓΓ . Example Angel-Άγγελος.

Good example! Even if you don't learn to speak Greek, you can learn to understand what other people are saying (about you).

Why is the accent written in the last syllable, but pronounced in the next-to last (in 'Anglika')?

any ik- ending is stressed at the very end. politikOs, politikE, anglikOs, anglikE. The -ik- suffix means “pertaining to” whatever it is attached to: politikos = someone pertaining to the polis, glossa anglike = a language pertaining to Angles = English, anglika = (things) pertaining to Angles = English as well.

[Fwegar]

I interpreted (correctly) that the sentence means "he speaks English."

However, when clicking on αυτός one of the options that comes up is "does he".

That would completely change the sentence. A statement of "he speaks English" is very different to "does he speak English?" Does the meaning change based on the context of the situation?

Why is there no article for English?
