"Greeks" just stole everything from us and invented the term Greek, when in actual fact it is Cypriot!

Another example of Greece claiming credit for other people's work! No different to Turkey! In fact, they are as bad as each other.

Greeks only stole your rectal virginity.

How can Greeks do such a thing when they only got a clit and wear foustanelles?

Paphitis and GR. Please do not feel stupid. I am just trying to show to you how proud you should be for your heritage.

The English Language: It's Greek to Me

The English language is indebted to Greek not only for its alphabet but also for a major portion of its vocabulary. If it were not for the ancient Greeks, the English language would not be the 26 letters that are used today. The English-speaking people would probably write in a different direction. Everyday vocabulary would be drastically altered, and it would be difficult to communicate about such subjects as government, religion, and science. Even English literature would not be nearly as diverse as it is today.

I must admit, Paphitis that your arguments are devastating. Not to mention those of GR

And Greek was invented on Cyprus by Cypriots! http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/ ... 151297.php Next idiot please...

GR, I am grateful to you for your post. Fantastic. You simply verified what I was claiming all along. That Cyprus has been for centuries a cradle of Hellenism and that we, Cypriots, had no connection with that "pig nest" you keep bringing up (Choiro - koitia I mean).

[Get Real!]

Kimon, Cypriots could read and write about 2,000 years before Greeks so please be quiet and go make some coffee or something.

Oh and one question. Are you plain stupid or Crypto-Hellen? Here is an extract from your link:

"A classics and linguistics scholar has found a bridge between the pre-alphabetic scripts of the ancient Greeks of Cyprus and the Greek alphabet -- and argues that the Mediterranean island is therefore most likely the place where the Greek alphabet was invented".

Thinking of it again I conclude you are a very proud Hellen after all.
