Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a Cypriot Dictionary with explanations of the Cypriot dialect and explanation of the origin of the words and phrases? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's because you don't live in Paphos.

One of the many reasons Cyprus today is under occupation is this dialect which created huge confusion to the population.
It would be much better such dictionary to not exist and our scholls down there to insist and demand only the correct language to be used.
Firstly this must be a "must" for someone to became a minister - Minister without speaking fluetly the correct language must be prohibited-same must be apply to journalists.

If this problem between written and verbal language was not there, then we (G/cs ) would never confused our Ethnicity with stupiness of Greek Junta and its supporters in the Island as well as with the stupiness of the Cyprus Ethnos!!!.

This may be of little help, but you may have seen it already.

There might be a GC version too somewhere.
