I added Armenian too, although I can't find Cypriot Maronite Arabic anywhere online. Not even Syriac is available.

But you must answer Kalamari's point, about not having Terkish?

Not necessary my dear. There will always be some 'next' minority who you will have managed to leave out. See the headache it's causing you already? No communities! Be decisive like your paradigm, the French!

Unity is important and can only come about with ONE Official language!

Isn't that a bit like Terkey?

Not at all!

Turkey BANS other languages!

Everyone is free to speak what they like in Cyprus. We're talking about ONE OFFICIAL language, such as most countries have ... and certainly as does Omer's well chosen, brilliant example of France!

Cyprus is an officially bilingual country (Greek / Turkish), although I would prefer Cypriot-Greek and Cypriot-Turkish. Both are languages of the two main communities.

I would have thought that was very clear to all. Your "Greek only" idea is just a joke to wind me up. I didn't take it seriously that's why I never responded. Its not a relevant debate. Most people you say this to will laugh at you and dismiss you as mad. You're not are you?

I would consider putting minority languages, Maronite and Armenia, this is what the Swiss and Belgians do where you used to find in Belgium, French, Dutch and German on their banknotes, despite the fact that the German speaking community numbered only 100,000 out of 10,000 000.

In Switzerland, Rhaeto-Romansch is used on their banknotes.

That's where you are wrong Omer. She is not crazy and yet she actually believes it. One of the anomalies of life on this god forsaken earth.

You are dismissive of the fact this TWO "official" languages malarkey was imposed on us by Imperialists to divide us. Surely you can see the sense in not continuing with such a move?

Other countries have communities which have cohabited for thousands of years. Those languages are also compatible (common origins). Turkish and Greek are not lingusitically similar.

Greek has been the official language for thousands of years and there is no sensible reason for changing it.

"Turkish" was only invented in 1923 and Cyprus had no ties with Turkey then, and only has ties by virtue of enemy occupation now!

So what part of UNITY do you have a problem with?

Turkish was invented when? What did the Ottomans speak?

You really are stupid.

No, Turkish existed in 1571. There is evidence for it in historical archives, check them out in Nicosia north and south. Speaking Turkish does not mean you are tied to Turkey. Turkish is a free language; many Western Armenians and Greeks in south Athens area speak it too not to mention Greek speaking Cypriots who lived in mostly Turkish speaking villages.

I cannot speak Greek, would love to learn of course but I don't have the time at the moment, so as a Cypriot I need to have Turkish language signs (I would prefer Cypriot Turkish of course) put up.
