Cyprusays is the world’s first app dedicated to teaching Cypriot Greek - the dialect spoken with warmth and character across the island of Cyprus. Designed by Greek-Cypriots for the global community, it combines native audio, listen-speak-learn lessons, and the world’s first Reading & Pronunciation Guide for the Cypriot Greek alphabet. Built with AI speech recognition, Cyprusays helps learners build real-world confidence in speaking, listening and understanding authentic Cypriot Greek.

Yes. Cypriot Greek shares its roots with Standard Modern Greek but has a distinct rhythm, pronunciation and vocabulary shaped by centuries of island culture. You’ll hear words, idioms and tones that make it unmistakably Cypriot.

Cyprusays was developed in collaboration with Greek-Cypriot Professors and Linguists who have studied the dialect at an academic level, ensuring every lesson reflects how the language is spoken in modern-day Cyprus. Like all living languages, Cypriot Greek has evolved over time; so some words or spellings may differ from how older generations remember them. If your Yiayia or Pappou says it another way, they’re not wrong; the language has simply evolved and Cyprusays content teaches how Greek-Cypriots speak today.

Cyprusays is for anyone who wants to learn Cypriot Greek. Whether you’re part of the Cypriot diaspora, reconnecting with family roots, studying Greek, or live and work in Cyprus. The app is designed for all ages and language levels, from total beginners to those who want to grow their vocabulary and polish pronunciation. It’s more than a language course; it’s a way to preserve, celebrate and pass on Cypriot heritage to the next generation.
