TherearecertainsoundsintheGreek-Cypriotdialect(henceforthGCD)thatcannotbe representedbycharactersfromtheGreekalphabetinitswrittenform。Contradicting ideologieshavemadeitimpossibleforCypriotstosettleonanofficialandcommon orthographicsystem，whichhasledtoarichvarietyoftypographicconventionsand manysignificanttypographicdrawbacks。Thisstudyaimstointroduceanewsetof typographiccharactersfortherepresentationofthepalato-alveolarGCDconsonants thatwouldprovideidealreadingconditionsforusers(昂格尔，2007;Noordzij，2005;布林赫斯特，2005)，whiletakingintoconsiderationtheirpoliticalandculturalstances和需要。新的排版系统已经在两轮行动研究中进行了测试，providingbothquantitativeandqualitativedata。Theresultsshowthatthe proposedsystemsatisfiesboththedesignandlinguisticcriteriaofasuccessfulwritten systemasproposedbySebba(2007)，namelyphonologicalaccuracy，simplicityand可读性。关键词变音符，希腊-塞浦路斯方言，语言意识形态，正字法系统，排版设计，排版系统，视觉图形学
