Cypriots: Are they Ancient Greek descendants, or Hellenized Levantines?

Hellenized Levantines

Hellenized since Minoan times in that case as there is no evidence these people were ever Hellenized. There’s more evidence that they Hellenized Greece some 10,000 years ago.

The Cypriot linear script is considered a sister script of Linear A and was continue to be used from its creation in 1900 BC up to 400 BC to record Greek.

There are also certain words and grammar which Cypriots still use which are ancient Greek and mainlanders do not

The Minoans were never wiped out, they even participated in the Trojan war.

The Cypriot Linear script is not a derivative script of Linear A like Linear B is but a sister script. And was used to write Greek up until 400 BC. How come the Cypriots were using a Cypriot derivative of Linear A script up until 400 BC if they were not Greek.

The Ancient Greeks were the sum up of 3 emigrations. The Cypriots that arrived 10,000 ago, the Anatolians who arrived some 30,000 ago and the Steppe people who arrived 5,000 ago. The sum up of these people were the Ancient Greeks.

I was unaware of Cypriots migrating and colonising Greece. Are you talking about the Choirokoitians?

[Bobby Martnen]

Intermediate, but closer to the Levant.

[Newsboy]

I retract from my original vote: Purely Ancient Greek

Cypriots are intermediate

[Papastratosels26]

I voted the 2 option.In Cyprus exist the Greek element but the majority of island are Helenized Levantines.

[Astarte]

That depends one which Cypriots you mean? North or South Cypriots? But I think south is mostly forcefully hellenized Arabs.

There's only forceful Turkification dear.
