• Episode 165: Exploring the language panorama in Cyprus

  Of the 10 countries that joined the European union in 2004, Cyprus was the only one that did not bring a new language to DG Translation, since Greek was already an official language of the EU. Yet the Cypriot Greek dialect possesses its own very distinct taste and flavour, even in unexpected fields like legal terminology. In this episode, Spyros Armostis and Georgios Floros from the University of Cyprus delve into the island's linguistic landscape, shedding light on the phenomenon of diglossia and describing the growing prestige of the Cypriot Greek dialect. They also share the story of how the translation of Cyprus's post-independence legal system, initially planned to take 5 years, ultimately stretched over 3 decades!Music: Τ​υ​λ​λ​η​ρ​κ​ώ​τ​ι​σ​σ​α / Woman from Tilliria by Monsieur Doumani; Days past by Inclosing
