Michelle Jackson+FollowCyprus’ Secret Language ComebackImagine speaking a language that only 900 people in the world know—and it’s the same one Jesus might’ve spoken! That’s the reality for Cyprus’ Maronite community, who are fighting to save Sanna, their nearly extinct language. They’ve created an alphabet, started classes, and even have QR-coded textbooks for kids. But the real challenge? Getting young families to move back and keep the language alive. It’s a wild cultural revival you don’t hear about every day! #LanguageRevival #Cyprus #CulturalHeritage #Culture10Share
Michael Butler+FollowCyprus’ Secret Language ComebackImagine speaking a language only 900 people in the world know! That’s the reality for Cyprus’ Maronite community, who are fighting to save Sanna—a blend of Arabic, Greek, and even a dash of Aramaic. After decades of decline, they’ve created an alphabet, started teaching kids, and even have summer camps to keep it alive. It’s a wild mix of history, culture, and resilience. Will Sanna survive? Only time (and a few more speakers) will tell! #LanguageRevival #Cyprus #CulturalHeritage #Culture30Share
