The Syllabic Cypriot Script continued into the First Millennium when it was also used to write the Greek Language alongside Bigraphic Transcriptions in the Hellenic Alphabet. Thus it is possible to read to some extent the Cypro-Minoan Inscriptions of the Second Millennium as the same script was used in the First Millennium for Greek Inscriptions in the Cypriot Syllabic Script. The Cypriot Scripts are members of the Aegean Family of Scripts from the Second Millennium.
Due to the Decipherment of First Millennium Classical Cypriot by George Smith in the 19th Century AD, and Second Millennium Linear B by Michael Ventris in the 20th Century AD it is now possible to read Cypro-Minoan Inscriptions. Where inscriptions can be read but not yet understood, then the language is considered to be “EteoCypriot” ie native to the island and before the Mycenaean Greek presence in the Second Half of the Second Millennium. Due to the work of INSPIRE and CREWS the Cypro-Minoan Inscriptions are now not only “studiable” but also “readable” so progress can now be made to “understand” them. Carpe Diem…G
