What language did most people speak in the eastern Roman Empire?

The eastern part of the Roman Empire had a variety of language as different conquered people had different languages. Some of them were Egyptian, Yiddish, Syriac, Armenian, Thracian, Dacian and Illyrian. Aramaic was a lingua franca in the Asian Middle East. The elites spoke Greek because the Greeks ruled the eastern Mediterranean (Pergamon in western Turkey, the Seleucid Empire in the Asian Middle east and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt)prior to the Romans and Greek was the language used in the Greek/Eastern Church (which later came to be called Orthodox Church). Latin was the imperial language because the Romans spoke Latin. After the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire Greek became the official language of the eastern part. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.

Are cypriots considered Asians?

You could say that Cypriots are Asians or Europeans. You could say Europeans as Cyprus is part of the EU but I would go for Asians or Middle Eastern as Geographically Cyprus is in the Middle East next to Turkey Syria and Lebanon. Also both Greek and Turkish Cypriot culture share many similarities with Arab/Middle Eastern culture such as the dancing, food, music and even the people look the same. And as a Greek Cypriot myslef I would prefer to be called Middle Eastern rather than European. :)
