Yesterday I overheard a conversation between an Athenian and a Cypriot. It sounded a little like the accents from North and South of Spain...

That is the interesting thing, I wasn't sure which one, both sound quite "southerly". Also, comparison was difficult because they were woman and man, but I think that the man's (Athenian) sounded more like the Spanish Andalusian accent.

Cypriots change their vocabulary and accent for Greeks to understand them, so I think that's an extra layer of understanding/problems.

Don't forget what I told you: "Though Cypriot Greek tends to be regarded as a dialect by its speakers, it is unintelligible to speakers of Standard Modern Greek without adequate prior exposure." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_Greek …

oh wow! Yes, you told me so.
but I think my ear would need quite a lot of training to distinguish one and the other. When you talked to me, did you change your usual Cypriot accent?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
