Do they know what language these people spoke? Later Cyprus was partly Greek-speaking and partly Phoenician-speaking, but I don't know if the Greek speakers had already arrived by this time.

Later the Greek-speaking Cypriots used a syllabary for writing, long after other Greeks were using the Greek alphabet (and they were in contact with those other Greeks). I guess traditions die hard.
