hellim and halloumi origins are arabic just like the origins of civilisation that started in iraq many thousands of years ago ........................ soo we have nothing left to argue about except halloumin cheese or hellim............. and at the same time you are all sooo proud to call yourself turkish cypriots and greek cypriots...................... the truth of the matter is all cypriots do not know where the hell they originated from or who their background is or their ancesters but the present cypriots who speak turkish and greek thing they are turkish and greek. how can an island that has been raped pillaged for over 5000 years can have any roots pure that leads back to some ancesters

the truth of the matter is all cypriots do not know where the hell they originated from or who their background is or their ancesters but the present cypriots who speak turkish and greek thing they are turkish and greek. how can an island that has been raped pillaged for over 5000 years can have any roots pure that leads back to some ancesters

All countries fail your definition of purity and islands were actually the last to lose that "purity" because it took man quite a long time to build sea-worthy boats/ships to land on them.

The indigenous people of most countries are far greater in number than those of an invader so they are still able to survive and flourish despite repeated attacks from outsiders.

In 1565 the Ottomans attacked little Malta with around 35,000 men onboard over 100 ships and yet were defeated by around 6,000 knights and soldiers stationed there.

The US, considered the most powerful military ever, is unable to capture/control Iraq despite having exhausted all but nuclear technology. The reason the US cannot and never will be able to "win" in Iraq is because every single day thousands more Iraqis of fighting age are ready to join the resistance against the invader.

Iraq, indeed any country, is like a huge factory manufacturing new soldiers every day... essentially an endless supply of resistance; something G.Bush fails to comprehend.

and stop posting laughing smileys - your not gettin one over me saddo lol.

ahh you love it really

Abdullah Gul is not my anything, if anything he would make a great contribution for my collection of religious morons with ugly mustaches list, along with the rest of his party of divine assholes, however what you are doing with Baklava is similar to what he is doing with the "Greek heritage" anyways, one visit to Turkey changes everyone's minds on what they ever knew about feta, baklava, kebab, yogurt etc, and i suggest you do that some day if you haven't already, so you can go ahead and sell it as Greek all you like, in fact most things marketed as Greek are so foul tasting that I'm glad they are attributed with either the RoC or Greaseland here in the UK i personally try to avoid them at all costs

well if you put it like that then no one is from anywhere f_c, we are ALL Anatolian and that's that, however if you look at a relatively closer time period then you should be able to find your roots...

[sadik06]

But sadik06 the article says the arabic word for cheese is "hellime".
I am totally confused now. I think I need "ouahat shay" more.

arab countries speak different dialects , thats why in syria they call it halloumi..in north africa it is joubn...


but halloumi is a pure arabic word for the sound ""h"" doesnt exist in any language exept arabic
** as a back velar glothal sound

[shahmaran]

H exists in Turkish as well, but we just dont make it sounds like we are tying to cough up some feathers....

'' H '' exists in many languages (except Italian), even in Swahili
'' HAKOUNA MATATA"

do you know what i mean by "h" it is not like in "harmony"

it is like 'haa' in mohamed

in arabic they exist both
if you are good at linguistics you should know this.
there are two different "h" sounds

In the official spoken Greek h (χ) sounds the same as it does in Arabic. Now in villages in Cyprus or Crete you might get it sounding like "sh" if it is followed by certain vowels.
