Kormakítis (Cyprus) (AFP) - In a village in northern Cyprus, a community struggling to save its ancient language has seen a glimmer of hope in intensified efforts to reunify the divided island.
Kormakitis was once the hub of Cyprus's Maronite minority, descendants of Syrian and Lebanese Christians who spoke Sanna, a unique dialect of Arabic influenced by the Aramaic spoken by Jesus.
The language is now severely endangered, according to UNESCO.
All the colours and authenticity.. I like how this place is filled with memories and the owners are so genuine and down to earth that they let you in on all their memories and hardwork. Plus the food is awesome. :) #cyprus #kormakitis #cypriotrestaurant #cypriotfood #authenticplace (at Yorgo Kasap Restaurant)
