The term originates from the Greek word βάρβαρος (barbaros). Hence the Greek idiom "πᾶς μὴ Ἕλλην βάρβαρος" (pas mē Hellēn barbaros) which literally means "whoever is not Greek is a barbarian".

Έχει δίκιο ότι το ρητό δεν αναφέρεται σε καμία αρχαία πηγή.Σαφώς υπήρχε η λέξη "Βάρβαρος",αλλά η φράση αυτή καθευατή είναι μάλλον μεταγενέστερη.

For every stupid thumb down you will give me, i will give you neg rep....
No problem if you do it because you disagree, but you thumb me down when you dont even disagree.....i didnt mention anything about ancient....do you want me to translate you what i wrote? ITS A GREEK IDIOM....and a very often used as you well know....except if you disagree with that....and...
1. Is not a greek idiom
2. It doesnt mean who isnt Greek is barbarian
3. The word barbarian doesnt originate from the greek βάρβαρος

These are the 3 things that what i wrote says.....which one is wrong?
