Well done VP ... The Turks have another recruit!

"The Cypriot" is "The Turk"


Anyone who doesn't subscribe to your warped world view is a "Turk", Oracle...

Have a look here to see how many of us there are:

VP, no need to be that rude. I think you'll find that she is plenty upset just by the replies she is getting from both sides.

My dear VP, a Language must fit with the social, cultural, historical etc background of a People. Even though I love the English Language, and although English suits the criteria I list for England, it doesn't meet them for CY and neither does a standardised modern Greek.


What about the other examples USA etc...


My dear VP, I hope you're not suggesting they speak English in the USA!!!

No, seriously I have no experience of the matter but suggest that the US has adapted English to suit, perhaps with new words, many of them from immigrant groups perhaps, Italian, Irish and of course from Hispanic peoples.

I know, but she wasn't being rude at the time. Rudeness should be in equal measure in a reply.

It is such a shame that when I was a kid, I used to listen to a play on the GC radio with a leading character called Phrosu. All the village listend to it. Yet I listen to GC media now and I understand very little of it. It is a real shame and must be reveresed.


Absolutely! The cultural imperialists have been allowed, slowly, slowly, to wipe out the language(s) of Cyprus. It is a crime against humanity, no different to the wiping out of the places of worship..

According to the 1960 constitution. Stuff it!

It was designed by foreigners to fail us and fail us it did!

Let's suppose I freely admit to be blind, deaf, dumb, stupid, thick, mentally retarded, challenged in every conceivable physical and mental field and was also impotent, would we able to move on?
