In January 2014 the Cypriot group had a competition. 
They were given a general knowledge quiz on the 
Comenius project and they were given a deadline 
to complete it in groups. The first ones to answer
 correctly were the winners.
So here they are!

Picture
Cyprus got its name from the word copper or copper got its name from Cyprus. The island has been a favourite crossroad for many conquerors, traders and settlers and thus it has had numerous influences. The island had its own script, the Cypriot Syllabic Script which dates as far back as the 11th to the 4th centuries BC that is to say during the Iron Age. It was one of the first forms of writing.

Let us explain how you too can use Cypriot Syllabic Script on your computer to write whatever you want!
In the chart below, the black letters are your keyboard letters. The red letters are the sounds. The signs are the letters of the Cypriot syllabary. Remember! The Cypriot syllabic script works with syllables and not with single letters!
So, the word love for example would sound as la-wa and you would type the letters aH  with the help of the Cypriot fonts which would give you the following:
