Bill we do not use words like that anymore.

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.

They cant speak Turkish to save their lives its a mish mash of both English and Turkish and gets very comical at times. The old Cypriot dialect will disappear over time as the younger generation do not have a clue about whats being said.

Funny you should say that VP cos...

Two or three years ago got a cab back to our home from LHR after a CY hol, and the cab-driver was a youngish CY from the Occupied Areas in his mid to late 30's, that's to say young by our standards, and he spoke brill kybraika.

Kyriakos Ioannou standing on the podium in London with the gold around his neck... and then...

Christos jeh Panayia, what sort of heavy metal rubbish was that mate?

As any aficionado of The Ninth will tell us there are only two modern interpretations worthy of note.

Here's one... The Orange version from the '70s...







...... Alle Menschen werden Bruder ... ( even the CY ones)

Personally I think the William Tell Overture might be better.

Somebody once said that the definition of being cultured is being able to hear "William Tell" without thinking of the "Lone Ranger" - I know think of Clock Work Orange.

Personally, I think we need to agree on a national anthem and implement it immediately. That is if the TC"s are ready for unification or they still want partition, which they ain't getting in a hurry.
