About Cypriot Greek dialect
Cypriot Greek is the dialect that is spoken by the Cypriots both living in Cyprus and abroad (Greek Cypriot diaspora). Even though it is considered as a Greek dialect, due to the distance from mainland Greece and the isolation from the rest of the Greek-speaking world led to the development of various linguistic characteristics distinct from standard modern Greek.

Amazing. I'm half Cypriot (half English ) and there are so few resources about the Cypriot dialect. Kinda embarrassing I can say things in standard Greek, but not kypriaka! Inda pou kamneis; 'ah... kala...that's all I've got! ;)

[@Theonlinegreektutor]

hahaha! We will try to create more resources for Cypriot!

[@22poopoo]

It's a travesty, if you ask me. We should be able to do a GCSE in the UK in Cypriot Greek to match our heritage.

@@nicb635 Yeah, but it's more of a problem for Cyprus to solve. They need to be proud of it and not see it as stigmatised or a lesser form of Greek. Then other nations can use their teaching resources.

You want to learn the greek language or cypriot dialect?

thanks

[@Theonlinegreektutor]

Thank you! What did you learn from our video lessons?

[@airsay]

It's unbelievable having to read the Greek words for what I always thought was "nambou kaneis". 15 years since I left the island and I still find myself hunting Learn Greek videos just to maintain the vocab

[@Theonlinegreektutor]

haha. That's great! Happy we help you with that!

[@stelvis1984ify]

I always thought is was nambou kamnies as well lol

[@michaelterryantoniades3060]

I feel you mate :) Have been living in the UK for 10 years now and hanging on to the dialect. Loads of cypriot tv shows on KZbin( god bless) and keep in touch with family and friends. Our dialect is beautiful and should not be forgoten

[@TheManFromWhereEastMeetsWest]

my father is greek cypriot and his parents were born in arradipou in Larnaca, my mother is english but i was never taught the language. My cousins all went to greek school whereas i did not. This makes me so disappointed in myself because i'd love nothing more than to speak to my yiayia and papou in their native tongue :(

[@Emma-fc9zm]

my parents are cypriot immigrants but i was never taught greek cause they didnt want me to feel different, i'm 15 not & really wanna learn im so sad i didnt't

[@Theonlinegreektutor]

Hello Emma. This is something many immigrants experience. It is not only you. However, i would say never is too late to start learning. Try it!

[@GK95_]

My dad is Cypriot and was born here in London, so I only picked up odd words and phrases because there was never much of an environment or reason for me to learn it. I understand the feeling of being an outsider among your own people when they're all native speakers and you're trying to recite basic words and phrases with poor grammar and pronunciation, haha.

[@Emma-fc9zm]

@@GK95_ exactly, i can understand it kind of and we use a few words and stuff at home but mostly i just dont know the language

[@michaelterryantoniades3060]

Its interesting though because... That generation that immigrated to UK from Cyprus... Have created a new vocabulary by merging Cypriot, Greek and English together... Its amazing 😂

[@mattdrat3087]

I was in Cyprus earlier this year and asked the receptionists at the hotel about the Cypriot dialect with words from this lesson and they seemed pretty unimpressed, as if the words used here were looked down upon. Is there a tendency to think of the dialect as something of less value, or perhaps vulgar in some way, than "normal" Greek?

[@rangelso]

I think λαλεω comes from ancient Greek

Είμαι Γάλλος. Ζω στην περιοχή της Πάφου, όλοι μιλούν κυπριακή διάλεκτο στην ύπαιθρο. Μερικές φορές οι Έλληνες δεν με καταλαβαίνουν.

[@Theonlinegreektutor]

Είναι αλήθεια αυτό. Αυτό οφείλεται γιατί στην κυπριακή διάλεκτο κόβουμε κάποια γράμματα από τις λέξεις και φαίνεται πως τα μασάμε τα λόγια μας. Δες το βίντεο που έχουμε στο channel μας για τις διαφορές της ελληνικής γλώσσας με την κυπριακή.
