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.

I could not agree with you more.

Such anthem needs to be agreed with the union leaders, the authentic voice of the tCypriot will, to replace the current Cyprus national anthem.

If tCypriot union leaders do not wish to engage, then gCypriots must, if we have any brains that is, proceed with unilaterally changing the national anthem of the Cyprus Republic. Doing so will send the right messages to a great number of important constituencies, with by far the most crucial that of the tCypriots themselves.

Let's make it a good one.

I agree.

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.

You've got no clue, everyone in the govt controlled areas only speak kypriaka.

Even some politicians who would only (attempt to ) speak Athenian Greek for tv have began substituting the Kai for tjai.

Fact is the old generation tc's could converse quite comfortably ith the new generation gcs.

Not anymore, its been 37 years the old die and that type of dialect goes with them, our Turkish is becoming more and more refined as years go by.
