In this episode, I am joined by Dr Anna Charalambidou and Dr Petros Karatsareas to discuss the Cypriot dialects. We explore if language is an important marker of identity, how it transforms across diaspora generations, and why the difference between a language and a dialect is political and not linguistic. Anna and Petros are also making the first permanent archive of ‘Grenglish’ words with The Grenglish Project (@GrenglishProj on Twitter).
