English,Greek,& Turkish.
In Cyprus' case,English is retained as a linking language.The actual languages that are spoken by native Cypriots are Cypriot Greek,as opposed to standard Greek,& Cypriot Turkish as opposed to Anatolian Turkish.
Who is in agreement with me on this?

Aidan,
I have a coin. Do you want it?
Yes, you guessed right. It's the holy man himself: Pope Benedict. |

Kurupetos,you should put that Vatican City 2 Euros up on http://www.coinday.com .I'm sure that there's a few idol-worshippers in the Cult of Rome who are wanting to get a numismatic souvenir of the pointed-hatted Nazi gorilla called Pope Bentdick of Rome.

How dare you speak like that for a holy man like Pope Benedict?  You are going straight to hell, do you know that? Shame on you.  |
