Write down exactly what you want me to translate as what you refer seems irrelevant.

The language we speak is worth only a lower case mention next to our nationality. Until Cyprus is united and we are proud Cypriots again, with no g's and t's attached! Inevitably the need/purpose for lower case identifiers will sink into oblivion as we regain our Cypriotness.

I think you will win in a poll antifon, but i still got another idea (to increase my chances :lol:

In greek Kypreos-Kibrislis
In English kypreos-Kybrisli
In Turkish Kibreos-Kibrisli.

This is actually what we call ourselves in our native languages. It just changes the English versions.
