Yes, a Cypriot and a Cyprian refer to the same thing: a person from Cyprus. However, "Cypriot" is the more commonly used term to describe the people of Cyprus, while "Cyprian" can be used but is less frequent in contemporary language. Both terms denote the nationality and cultural identity associated with the island of Cyprus.
Korea is the not only country in the world that is divided. The Korean peninsula consists of North Korea (officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea). Vietnam was divided til 1975. The Island of Cyprus is also divided due to the "Cyprus Dispute" between the Greek Cypriot-controlled Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriot-controlled Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Only Turkey recognizes/acknowledges the Republic of Northern Cyprus. Furthermore, the nation of India was partitioned along religion into two states, India and Pakistan.
Cyprus citizens are called Cypriots. The term "Cypriot" refers to individuals who are natives or legal residents of Cyprus, an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean. This term is used to identify the people of Cyprus in a national or ethnic context.

Greek Cypriot or the Republic of Cyprus. There are two governments on Cyprus: the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. While the North expressly claims that it is Turkish, the South does not make any religious or ethnic claims. In fact the border at Nicosia is open to Turkish Cypriots from the North who wish to take part in advantages that the government of Cyprus has, such as membership in the European Union. When people say the "Greek Cypriot government" they are referring to the Republic of Cyprus since it has a Greek Cypriot majority, but the government of the Republic of Cyprus is not exclusivist in any way. To specify in simple words, The "Turkish Republic of North Cyprus" it is reffered with " due to the fact that it is not regognised as a goverment or state what so ever by UN and international law
The Turkish spoken in Cyprus is much more relaxed and the way you say certain things is. Very different although similar and easily understood by both. Cypriot Turkish is almost like a slang version, words are shortened and simpler to say. I'm Turkish Cypriot and only started to learn the language recently. Being taught by 2 people, one a Turk from turkey and one a Cypriot Turk I quickly noticed the difference and found Cypriot Turkish a bit easier.
Yes and No. Officially, the Republic of Cyprus is recognized by all countries except Turkey as having de jure control of the entire island (except for the UK bases of Akotiri and Dhelika). However, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus and created the puppet state called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) which controls the northern third of the island of Cyprus. All countries other than Turkey view this as an unlawful occupation of sovereign Cypriot territory.
The majority of Cyprus is made of Greek Cypriots and a minority is made of Turkish Cypriots. There have also been an influx of forced migration from the Turkish mainland that has doubled the number of "Turkish Cypriots" even though these people have no Cypriot heritage and have been used in an attempt to change the population dynamics in Cyprus.
