Abstract
When you compare the Anatolian dialects with the Cypriot dialects you can seethat the words that are being used in Cypriot dialects had been used in the ancientAnatolian scripts and later in Anatolian dialects. The usage of these words covers notonly a certain region but a much broader area. A great part of the phonetic changesin Cypriot dialects had already happened in Anatolia before 16th Century and theycontinued developing and changing in Cyprus which has a totally different culture.
