Teaching Endangered Languages of Oral Tradition: How and What to Assess?
In this article, we report the results of a study undertaken at the University of Cyprus (2017–2020) in the framework of the research project MapCyArS financed by the Leventis Foundation. The study concerns the design and development of an assessment test to evaluate proficiency in Cypriot Arabic (CA), a severely endangered language spoken in Cyprus. The article discusses the principles that need to guide the development of such tests and the nee…
Contact-Induced Change in an Endangered Language: The Case of Cypriot Arabic
Cypriot Arabic (CyAr) is a severely endangered Semitic variety spoken by Cypriot Maronites. It belongs to the group of "peripheral varieties" of Arabic that were separated from the core Arabic-speaking area and came into contact with non-Semitic languages.

Langue ancienne, écriture nouvelle: Codification et standardisation de l’arabe de Chypre
Cet article aborde la question de la création d’un système d’écriture pour la variété arabe de Chypre dite sanna, une variété orale en danger de disparition, parlée par des membres de la communauté maronite de Chypre. L’article se situe dans la période 2007-2016 qui correspond, d’une part, à la phase d’initiation (2007), d’autre part à celle de standardisation, systématisation et diffusion de l’alphabet (2013-2016). Après une brève présentation d…

After a brief historical account, the article focuses on the sociodemographic and sociolinguistic characteristics of the community, which has steadily declined ever since its establishment on the island of Cyprus in the seventh to eighth century AD. Finally,…

From linguistic liberalism to legal regulation: The Greek language in Cyprus
One of the main difficulties in describing state language policies and planning has to do with the fact that very often one has to decide whether changes observed in state attitude vis-à-vis specific languages indicate the adoption of a new policy or reflect activation processes which tend to unveil previously covert or de facto policies. The interpretation of apparent changes in policy often becomes more difficult because of the existence of div…
