As we know Political, social, economic, and historical issues in Cyprus are involved in loss of our ancestral Gibrizlija. Should we go the way of some countries (Ireland, Catalunya, Basque country Wales, etc ) and try to revitalize our language, by planning. i.e. imposing its use on the island, signs in Gibrizlija followed by Turkish and then English?

Hey memo, I think it would be interesting to see a poll with this thread. I would vote to revitalize the language. I would hate to see a language fall to the way side.
