Cypriot Greek

The Cypriot dialect of Modern Greek, known as Kypriaka (Greek: Κυπριακά) or Cypriot Greek (Greek: Κυπριακή διάλεκτος, "Cypriot dialect") is spoken by 750,000 people in Cyprus and diaspora Greek Cypriots. Cypriot Greek is distinct enough that it can be classified as a distinct dialect of Standard Greek. In Cyprus, the dialect is reportedly more similar to Classical Greek in vocabulary and grammar than that spoken in Greece.
