I rarely have need of Greeking, but on those occasions when it's useful I use a lovely program called MacLorem which generates text in Lorem ipsum Latin, an all-uppercase version called LOREM IPSVM, Champagnois Old French, Old English, Middle High German, Old Dutch, Finnish, Ancient Greek, Etruscan, an old, romanized form of Japanese, Swahili, Proto-Indo-European, Quenya (an “ancient” language invented by author J.R.R. Tolkien), Hawaiian, Gibberish (entirely non-language text). The text is bogus, but I believe that at least the vocabulary is more or less authentic. Fun stuff, in any case.
A sample of "Proto-Indo-European": Mater swesor kmtom sunu derwo bhereg sawel espeket, ek'womos bhrater ewewkwont dhugheter. Owioom rotho wlunaa bherontm widntei kwrnneuti espeket kwesyo hakhs kwetwor iak'om sebhi eest owis, aghnutoi hakhs owis penkwe tu. Penkwe, woghom iak'om widntmos: neghi, keer owioom derwo dheghom ne megam. Neer woghom widntmos:, hakhs treyes, nokwt agontm keer megam, widhewa sneigwh oinomkwe, kwrnneuti bhago westrom nsmei owis gwrrum, aghnutoi ooku penkwe woi. Bhereg swesor no kwesyo mater dheghom sunu dheghom, espeket ghmmenm. Bher ghe bhereg keer bhago oinom neghi pater keer weghontm nu oinos kwetwor gwrrum pholo gwrreei ek'womos owioom esti moi penkwe bhorom owioom moi owis aghnutoi.
