I found this, its apparently the first attempt made to write GĂBRĂZLĂDJA (Kibrislica) in its own script with lots of English and Greek words thrown in.

| kibrislica is the cypriot-turkish language/dialect, there is a debate as to which title it fits under. |

| How different is it from 'proper' Turkish? i.e. if two Turkish Cypriots were gassing away, would someone from the mainland be able to understand 100%, 50% or less? Would they get the general gist, but not understand everything? |

They would understand but miss the meaning of much, its like the queens english and cockney, both are english but have many different meanings and pronounciations when spoken.
For example 'cucumber' in turkish is 'salatalik' but in kibrislica it is 'hiyar' which the mainland turks find it a very insultive word. |
