Yes ok, increasingly find my old kybraika is found a bit of an amusing anachronism nowadays in the Free Areas amongst some CYs there, usually the younger ones, but came as something of a surprise that was able to use it to talk with some people living in the Occupied Areas, and believe you me, was very impressed at easily they spoke it, which leads me to believe that it and the turkish CY dialect are still widely spoken.
As you can perhaps imagine the old dialects have survived, and indeed thrive, here in the London.
