Despite the very low population, Kormakitis is considered the primary area as it is the oldest area that still has a living speaker population.

-==History==
-The Fylfans made their way to Cyprus with the Arab invasions in the mid-7th century, during this period they would maintain a closeness with the Arabs, settling in the same areas as them.
-During the late 12th century many Fylfans would travel to the south, participating in the Cypriot revolt and thus the Kingdom of Cyprus was established. Following this, many of the Fylfans would settle in Limassol and make it their home.
-In the modern age, many Fylfans have made their way to Larnaca, with the population made of both Northern and Southern Fylfans, their language would form a mixed dialect that now serves as an intermediate between the Northern and Southern dialects.
