Cypriot Maronite Arabic (also known as Cypriot Arabic, Maronite, or Sanna) is one of the most divergent of Arabic varieties, spoken in Cyprus, especially by the Maronite community. Most speakers are situated in the capital, Nicosia, but others are located in Kormakiti and Limassol. The majority of speakers are over 30 years of age, as many in the younger generations only speak Cypriot Greek, partially because of inter-marriage with Greek-speaking Cypriots. The language was first introduced to the island by Arab Maronites fleeing Lebanon or Syria in the 8th century. The dialect of Arabic has been very heavily influenced by Greek in both phonology and vocabulary, while retaining certain unusually archaic features in other respects.
