The focus is on furthering our knowledge of the non-Greek languages/scripts, as well as appreciating their place in relation to the much better understood Greek language on the island. Following on from recent advances in Cypro-Minoan studies, these difficult, mostly Late Bronze Age inscriptions are reassessed from first principles. The same approach is taken for non-Greek languages written in the Cypriot Syllabic script during the first millennium BC, chiefly the one usually referred to as Eteocypriot. The final section is then dedicated to the Phoenician language, which was in use on Cyprus for some hundreds of years. The result is a careful reappraisal of these languages/scripts after more than a century of sometimes controversial scholarship. 410 0$aCambridge classical studies. 606 $aInscriptions, Cypro-Minoan 606 $aPhoenician language$zCyprus 606 $aInscriptions, Phoenician$zCyprus 607 $aCyprus$xLanguages 615 0$aInscriptions, Cypro-Minoan. 615 0$aPhoenician language 615 0$aInscriptions, Phoenician 676 $a492/.6 700 $aSteele$b Philippa M.$f1983-$01555045 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789055203321 996 $aA linguistic history of ancient Cyprus$93816677 997 $aUNINA
