Joe, you and Kimon should start your own forum.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I am going to stick here for the laughs.

And I explained that the man was INCORRECT in his expression because anyone (Greek/Italian/Arab) who came to Cyprus would've been ASSIMILATED very quickly into the greater Cypriot population.

If I say “the Brazilians of Panama” then I am referring to the Brazilian DIASPORA that resides in Panama so it therefore follows that “the Greeks of Cyprus” must also be a DIASPORA of Greeks who were living on Cyprus!

But of course every diaspora moves on after 2-3 generations and become fully fledged citizens so how can this man claim that “Greeks of Cyprus” invented the Alphabet and especially given that Cypriots ALREADY had an Alphabet for thousands of years before?

See what happens when we apply common sense to what we read? We uncover the author’s mistakes…

It's never made much phonetic sense, the traditional way of transcribing greek words using the Latin alphabet.

Perhaps in the dim and distant past some scholarly classical scholars sat down and agreed this standardised system of making the transliteration and it has to be said it's a clumsy system cos it requires a knowledge of their method, presumably a lexicon of some kind, that they came up with, whereas spelling and pronunciation should be based on more natural, more instinctive methods. At the very least it's a system that is unnecessarily difficult to use.

From the perspective of a native English speaker, using a Latin alphabet, a few things, like the P and B mess, are just downright wrong and for the Majority CY Dialect the lack of a J is not at all helpful.



Who threw that!!! ....

Brilliant idea! i think we've found our (J) 25th letter of the Cy alphabet. Just one more to go....

Sorry mate. I was aiming Kimon. Honest!
