The Cypriot identity is a myth

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Bravo to both the Bash Cypriots. :roll:

After all that talk about you super Cypriots turns out you don't know a simple everyday word like kolaouzos? :shock:

Like keeper? I stand corrected. I had it as 'guide'. But in the context of a village, like a signpost.

Where as "to", "kalo", "xwrio", "den" and "qelei" are definitely Cypriot!

How does it feel to wake up every morning and realise you are still an idiot?

Actually, in his outright idiocy, Miltiades is correct (though he doesn't know it): "kolaouzos" is the only non-greek word in the saying. Apparently it comes from the Turkish "kιlavuz" meaning pilot or guide.

What is called the "Greek" language today IS Cypriot. How many times must we go over the evidence Politsa?
