Um, are you suggesting that Greek was the first language to have vowels in
it?

I'm not suggesting it but saying that it was.

You need a course in linguistics - written vowels were merely written
first by the Indians and Greeks, and before that written language was
merely a form of consonantal shorthand for speech. It doesn't mean
people didn't SAY the vowels!!!
