Republic of Cyberia enjoys its own living, breathing language – cyTalk!
We believe that the best way to learn a language is to make it an inseparable part of our day-to-day lives. So, in Cyberia, cyTalk is an inherent part of our communication methodology. However, cyTalk also fulfils another need. It is grounded in the basics of computer terminology and linux, C, C++, php and mySQL syntax. Once you are familiar with the syntax of cyTalk, learning Linux at a later stage will literally be child’s play!
