Yes, one of the official languages of Republic of Cyprus is Turkish. But there is no authority to regulate Turkish Cypriot.

[edit] Merger Proposal

A similar page has been created at Gibrizlija, which I believe ought to be merged into this one. Straughn 19:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello Straughn, I strongly agree with you. As I can see you are a linguist. Can you help me to analyse the grammar of Gibrislihja?

Turkish cypriots don't even say Gibrislihja!As a native speaker i can say that they pronounce it 'Kiprislija or Kiprisja' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Couphes (talk • contribs) 20:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

yes the official languages of cyprus are turkish and greek.but this does not reflect the reality that the original inhabitants of cyprus speak in dialects or one can say languages that greeks and turks can't understand them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Couphes (talk • contribs) 20:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Last year, there was a dictionary published, dictionary from Turkish Cypriot to Turkish by Orhan Kabatas in Nicosia, Cyprus.

I have to make another proposition of joining both pages of Cypriot Greek and Turkish dialects together to a post on "Cypriot dialect". After all they are interrelated to each other and each one has influenced each other up until the war. This is also an act of good faith not to link our island to either Greece or Turkey anymore.
