Cypro-Minoan is the language between 1500-1050 BCE that one finds on the island of Cypres at Enkomi and other places as well as in Syria and until this date, not much is known about their origin or context of origin. The objects with the writing on it, seems to indicate that these people were traders and merchants. They came from outside the Levant but borrowed elements within the Levant to do their trade successfully. No-one knows from where.

What is a surprising aspect, is the following words and their connections to Japanese. More than this, this researcher cannot say.
