What is it you fail to grasp about the predominance of archaic Greek DNA markers in the general population of the Mediterranean today (Sicily to Spain) ... and the special prevalence between Greeks and Cypriots?

Oracle, I’m a man of facts & figures which is why I never read novels or watch movies, so what archaic Greek DNA markers and green horses are you talking about gori? Have you any idea how many times the Slavic people had overrun the ancient Greeks? :roll:

When did the Slavs arrive in the Balkans?

That’s no different to asking when the Greeks arrived on the Balkans because ancient Greece was populated from the top down! :lol:


Idiot. Alexander the Great, lived fully 1000 years before the Slavs arrived in the Balkans.

Is that according to Greek mythology sites? :lol:

"Historically they are also known as Enetoi and have inhabited the entire region of Balkans, north of Greece, Northern Itally, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Bavaria, Northern Switzerland, Czech and Slovak Repulics Poland and central Germany all the way to today's Hamburg. The Slavs have inhabited this region since about 1500 B.C., and inhabit about 75 percent of that region to this day."

The people
Ethnicity and language

Macedonia has inherited a complex ethnic structure. The largest group, calling themselves Macedonians (about two-thirds of the population), are descendants of Slavic tribes that moved into the region between the 6th and 8th centuries AD. Their language is very closely related to Bulgarian and is written in the Cyrillic script.

In language, religion, and history, a case could be made for identifying Macedonian Slavs with Bulgarians and to a lesser extent with Serbs. Both have had their periods of influence in the region (especially Serbia after 1918); consequently, there are still communities of Serbs (especially in Kumanovo and Skopje) and Bulgarians.



The people who form the majority of the inhabitants of the contemporary Macedonian republic are clearly not Greeks but Slavs. However, this ecclesiastical tradition, taken together with the long period during which the region was associated with the Greek-speaking Byzantine state, and above all the brief ascendancy of the Macedonian empire (c. 359–321 BC) continue to provide Greeks with a sense that Macedonia is Greek.



So did the Austrian Herr Heitler take the German armies, and the Corsican the French armies all across Europe and deep into Asia. So what it proves nothing.


Take it up with the Encyclopedias in question. Right them an email or start a letter campaign. What do you want me to say? I can post from other Encyclopedias as well that offer ruffly the same info.

The Cypriot; we are aware of the rules. Why are you being selective in your criticism. Havent you seen your fellow GC compatriots conversing in Greek?

There is a purpose for all this. Some Turks have been rather unfriendly towards TCs and the TC accent.

My previous reply was to GR! who questioned my statement about the arrival of the Slavs in the Balkans. He believes that Slavs resided in Northern Greece since the time of Alexander or that is what i think he is trying to tell us. Sorry for veering off course but i had to respond to GR's silly assertions.

Personally, I'm liking it more and more :D

.... Has anyone, systematically, attempted codification? Is there a formal dictionary of the glosses from Greek. A Dr. Samuel Johnson of Gybriaka? Syntax looks similar, but the grammar and spelling rules :? seem too variable to me.

Here is a perfect opportunity to synchronize graphemes and phonemes BTW :D

Are you planning to use the Greek alphabet or Latin for standardising this dialect - or switch between them?

That's OK, insan. Don't worry. I just felt a little excluded... like I didn't belong.

But I turned it around and used it as an opportunity to show off. What I wrote was in 'Gibreiga' - the Greeks would call it 'Kypriaka'!

Here's a link to some work that's been done in this area....

http://wikipriaka.com/cy

and here:

http://wikipriaka.com/en/more

for more links....

Please note, I advised in the development but am not responsible for this site.

Work has been done in both alphabets. My own view would be to use Latin so as to open Cypriot up to the whole world though clearly Cypriots educated in Greek may opt for the Greek alphabet.
