Gi-rl is wrong....

This would render somehing like "Gebros"

"Gi" as in Gi-ve would render the right pronunciation. This is because of inconsistencies in English spelling and pronunciation.

No such inconsistencies exist in the Cypriot.

Follow the English pronounciation and you are lost. You need a phonetic language like Turkish, and you are never wrong. Gibros is always Gipros.

I wonder what is the proper way to pronounce:

Gigantic

Giga.......(comp)





Who cares.

On the contrary, your phonetic language causes problems with spelling. Because Turkey is so huge there are many regional, differing pronunciations. Isn't that what the 'Turks of Cyprus' complain about to the 'Turks of Turkey'? ... even here on the forum!

I will discuss this with you when you learn Turkish. And learn, you can in a short time - at least the pronounciation. Once you learn the alphabet, you can read anything. This has nothing to do with accents, dialects etc. They are all read the same.

I think Finish and Polish (unfortunate spellings ) are purely phonetic languages which you can learn to read quickly. But that's literally meaningless. There are no real advantages to purely phonetic languages, except you may have to learn less rules; a factor which leads to less creativity.

Yes, but it is not me arguing with The Cypriot on how to pronounce words O.

Look at the mess.

Is it John Giannis Yiannis, Kypros, Gibros, you are unable to make your minds up. Or is the Greek language still 'metamorphosing'.

Paphitika is far superior ....

Typical Greek cultural imperialist... making light of the language of Cyprus.

(But the ONE Official language of Cyprus will be Standardised Greek)

Standardised by who?

It seems that many people here mixed up the meaning of the word language and the word dialect.

As nobody can find officially a Cyprus Ethnos to be stated the same is valid for the Cyprus "language" .

All these tricks of creating history from ashes will result worst damages to our Island than the Turkish invasion.Unfortunately this became a serious problem at ourdays. Our politicians must stop focusing on Cyprus problem solution only and to give a look of what kind of people are going to be the citizens of this new state they are going to accept/create.

No one is mixing anything up. You find me one person called Kypros who spells his name Gibros and I'll find you a Marios who spells his name Stavroulla.

Don't concern yourself Deniz. Greek is a complex and all-encompassing superior language as exemplified by its longevity. Greek has never had to metamorphose in the way Turkish did courtesy of Ataturk. Maybe "The Cypriot" is using him as a linguistic role model .... The problem with having a simplistic language (like Turkish) is the speakers lose the cranial connections to diversity and adaptability ....

Ok, you carry on with your discourses with the Cypriot. I must admit, it is fascinating and entertaining. Poor Cypriot!!
