There are two intersting articles in the mail today

The first is on the Cypriot Dialect: "A Changing Language"

http://www.cyprus-mail.com/language/changing-language/20111016

In brief the article comments on how over the millenia the Cypriot-Greek Langauge has evolved and borrowed words from many of the invaders. The same is true for the Cyriot-Turkish dialect.

It comments on how the langauge is still evolving with some words dropping out of use and others comeing in.#

The second Article is on modern Archeological Techniques: "Ancient immigration also a hot topic...among archaeologists "
http://www.cyprus-mail.com/cyprus/ancient-immigration-also-hot-topicamong-archaeologists/20111022

This covers how archelogists are now looking not so much at artifacts but in how they are produced as techniquesin thinks like weaving, cokking, etc, are a good indicator of how peoples are linked as immigarnts tend to carry techniques with them.
