History
Proto-Arcadocypriot (around 1200 BC) is supposed to
have been spoken by Achaeans in the Peloponnese
before the arrival of Dorians so it is also called southern
Distribution of Greek dialects in Greek in the
Achaean. The isoglosses of the Cypriot and Arcadian
dialects testify that the Achaeans had settled in Cyprus. classical period. [1]
As Pausanias reported: Western group: Central group: Eastern
Doric proper Aeolic group:
Northwest Arcado- Attic
Agapenor, the son of Ancaeus, the son of
Lycurgus, who was king after Echemus, led Doric Cypriot Ionic
the Arcadians to Troy. After the capture of Achaean
Troy the storm that overtook the Greeks on Doric
their return home carried Agapenor and the
Arcadian fleet to Cyprus, and so Agapenor
became the founder of Paphos, and built the
sanctuary of Aphrodite at Palaepaphos (Old
Paphos).[2]

The establishment happened before 1100 BC. With the arrival of Dorians in the Peloponnese, a part of the
population moved to Cyprus, and the rest was limited to the Arcadian mountains.

According to John T Hooker, the preferable explanation for the general historico-linguistic picture is

"that in the Bronze Age, at the time of the great Mycenaean expansion, a dialect of a high degree of
uniformity was spoken both in Cyprus and in the Peloponnese but that at some subsequent epoch
the speakers of West Greek intruded upon the Peloponnese and occupied the coastal states, but
made no significant inroads into Arcadia."[3]

Later developments
After the collapse of the Mycenaean world, communication ended, and Cypriot was differentiated from
Arcadian. It was written until the 3rd century BC with Cypriot syllabary.[4] [5]

Tsan was a letter in use only in Arcadia until around the 6th century BC. Arcadocypriot kept many
characteristics of Mycenaean, early lost in Attic and Ionic, such as the /w/ sound (digamma).
