http://aradippoutales.wordpress.com Swapping two corporate lives for a slower, and sunnier, life in Cyprus Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:41:00 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 http://aradippoutales.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/naming-conventions/#comment-933 Kyproleon Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:41:00 +0000 http://aradippoutales.wordpress.com/?p=393#comment-933 I think Cyprus signed a UN convention on transliteration. They do the same thing with names on passports so that there is consistency to be able to truck people. These is huge resentment from the part of local authorities about this with some municipalities fighting the gov like Lakatamia/Lakatameia or for people Constantinos vs Konstantinos. The same happened in other places like Beijing vs Peking or Mumbai vs Bombay. But in general Cypriots don't care much as they don't read the signs. No Cypriot knows which one is A1 highway or what is B5 road. We have highways that go to Limassol and roads that goes to Vavla. I think Cyprus signed a UN convention on transliteration.
