Poll for Greek Speaking Cypriots

Postby Sotos » Tue Jan 31, 2012 12:37 am

This question is only for citizens of Cyprus who have Greek as their first language. If you are not a Cypriot citizen or if Greek is not your first language then don't vote in this poll.

I’d be interested to know how/when those who claim to be this “Greek/Hellenic” variant that Sotos is on about, came to be this way…

Did it happen during the years 500AD and 1453 when the territories of modern Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey were under the Eastern Roman Empire?

Did it happen during the years 1458 and 1828 when the territory of modern Greece was under Ottoman occupation and Greece did not exist?

Did it happen during the years 1571 and 1878 when Cyprus was under Ottoman occupation and Greece mostly did not exist?

Did it happen during the years 1878 and 1960 when Cyprus was under British occupation?

Did it happen during the years 1960 and 2012 when you were born in Greece?

Or maybe it happens when one goes to Greece for a holiday and gets raped by a Greek local!

Some kind of bizarre metamorphosis happened to these boys that they can’t explain… :?

It happened longer than any of those options. So long ago that the exact details are lost in the depths of history but archaeological evidence show that Cypriots were speaking Greek for many 1000s years. And by the way is Greek your FIRST language? Because if it is not then your vote will be disqualified from this poll ;)

But whoever said that what some people may have been speaking thousands of years ago has anything to do with YOUR status TODAY? :?

Where the fuck did you get this shit from? :lol:

It has to do because they were my ancestors. The language passed from parents to children from that day until today. How else would Greek be my first language then?

If they are your ancestors then what the fuck are you doing 500 miles away on an island next to the Levant? Did they banish you here for being stupid or have you been eating raw prawns tonight and therefore talking raw shit?

500 miles is practically nothing especially when you have ships. A few days of sailing.
