Our republic

Here is the national coat of arms of our republic, the Rhipblk i Cycyky.
A gorgeous garlic shines above all and two fierce animals protect the national flag. A lion and an unicorn. Actually we don't have any lion or unicorn, I guess. Maybe an unicorn at the zoo, but I am not sure.
A ribbon bears some words: qyq, plimpl i jojt, huum.
Qyq is garlic.
Plimpl i jojt is the street music.
Huum is peace.
Three pillars for a great country.
And three are the colours of our flag: lilac, ivory and pale-brown. Like many other flags in the world: France, Belgium, Mexico or Italy.

First lesson of Tzatziki

Our language is sooo beatiful! There are many things to tell you about, but first of all I want to show you a short video introduction, I made it for our Ministry of Culture. Very important job! Not very well paid, but enough to buy a new copper teapot. Morevover it was a little complicated to record and post it on web, because both my electric generator and my wifi connection are depending on the whimsy of the donkey turning a big wheel.
Anyway you may find it interesting.


Yes, it is really me, your special tzatziki teacher!
I forgot to tell you that "tzatziki" is the english name, but we call our language "cycyky".
Just say "tzatziki" keeping the mouth half closed as if you are smiling and you get closer to the right pronunciation.

Rhundcucizucrpty!

Rhundcucizucrpty! Welcome!
I am Yrpku and in this blog I will tell you about my beautiful country, the Tzatzikistan, and its beautiful language, the Tzatziki.
Tzatzikistan is a little country, with a long history and many astounding features.

It is the country of garlic and street music. Our people has strange habits and a good mood. We love hospitality, art and good kitchen.
Unfortunately the weather is ungenerous. We have four seasons as everywhere in the world: a blooming spring of one week, a mild autumn of few days and one month of hot summer. But also we have eleven months of freezing winter.

Anyway the antibiotic properties of garlic protect us from taking sick too much. Furthermore, the awful weather forces our people to stay a lot at home, so we can take care of each other. Often we gather for some music and food, spending our nights in amazing parties and feasts.

Here is a picture of the main highway of Tzatzikistan in May. Transportation is not a problem in our country.
I hope that you love it too and that you will like to visit us very soon!
