Es tut mir leid, wenn diese Frage umstritten ist, aber ich bin nur neugierig. Ich komme nicht aus Zypern, Griechenland oder der Türkei und habe keine Verbindung zu einem dieser Orte, daher habe ich keine Hintergedanken …
Die Republik Zypern hat zwei Amtssprachen: Griechisch und Türkisch. Allerdings habe ich gelesen, dass im südlichen Teil der Insel (ohne Nordzypern) nur 0,2 % der Bevölkerung Türkisch sprechen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Cyprus)
Wenn wir also sagen, dass Zypern Türkisch als Amtssprache hat, meinen wir dann den nördlichen Teil? Ist türkischer Beamter auch im südlichen Teil? Oder ist Griechisch im Süden offiziell, während Türkisch im Norden offiziell ist?
Und wenn das der Fall ist, wird Türkisch angesichts der Tatsache, dass es im Süden so wenige Türkisch-Sprecher gibt, dann immer noch eine Amtssprache sein? Oder gibt es Pläne, Griechisch nur im Süden als Amtssprache anzuerkennen?

> Therefore, when we say that Cyprus has Turkish as it official language, are we talking about the Northern part? Is Turkish official also in the southern part? Or is Greek official in the southern while Turkish is official in the north?
Republic of Cyprus, what you refer to as the south, legally claims a continuity to the 1960 Republic of Cyprus, and that’s why it has Turkish and Greek as its official languages (once it had English but it’s no more the case). The de facto polity in north also has its official language as Turkish.
That being said, the whole north and south situations are new inventions: majority of Turkish Cypriots were what you call south today, and there were hardly any places where any group was concentrated in a large region, even things getting altered a bit with the decades long inter-communal conflict.
>And if that is the case, being that the speakers of Turkish is so low in the south, is Turkish still going to be an official language? Or are there plans to only recognize Greek as official in the south?
Cyprus, officially and legally, bound to reunify. Albeit, there are no plans regarding that.
Cyprus has greek and turkish as an official language. After the invasion in 1974, it was split into the republic of cyprus (what you refer to as the south) and the “republic of north cyprus”, which is illegal, controlled by turkey and not recognized as a country by anyone other than turkey
