So, we are to believe that
Greek was used to say that
Greeks were not involved! Very funny GR!
In which case Cyprus would itself not have figured in Biblical studies if it wasn't for the simple fact they only figured because the New Testament was written in GREEK! The language (and hence ethnicity) of Cyprus.
Ironic indeed, if we didn't know GR! is having a laugh knowing full well the dumb Turks will have a field day orgasmisising on the possibility they could write off the Greeks implicated in yet another phenomenal venture of Mankind. No, no!
Well, tough shit TC-Turks ... GR! has got you fooled!
It strikes me that we’ve chosen the English language to correspond on his forum… why didn’t we use Cantonese?
But, we didn't
choose to use English! It was thrust upon us as the lingua franca. As was Greek in Biblical time!
Try again GR!
I could’ve joined a Greek forum, a Turkish forum, an Armenian forum… but I chose an English speaking one, because I knew that both my compatriots and enemies would understand a common tongue…
Yeah ... you are talking about today (2,000 years later). Exactly the same situation prevailed in biblical times, except the English of the day was GREEK!
(Only difference being, that due to the lack of Internet, the predominant Greek speakers were .... GREEKS ... they just happened to be everywhere ... which somewhat rubbishes your thread!)
We have already established the Greek language’s origins being Cypriot & Phoenician..
No we have NOT established any such thing.
The Greek language of Homer etc was Greek, long before it was
written down in the slightly modified scripts of the linear forms along with modifications from Phoenician vowels ... But, all this was accomplished by GREEKS in CYPRUS.
