Arguing that the Greek-speaking Cypriot society can be marked as probably moving towards diaglossia, this paper introduces the notion co-overt prestige and the concept of (discrete) bilectalism to cover the “linguality” of Greek Cypriot speakers, namely bilectal in the local vernacular, the L variety (Cypriot Greek), and the superposed official language, the H variety (Standard Modern Greek), thence rejecting the notion of a continuum bridging the two varieties.
