Cyprus isn’t considered part of the Levant in modern-day, but Mediterranean. Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, ‘Israel’ (because of its geography, not culture) and very minor regions of Iraq are considered Levantine. 207.161.54.17 (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe Cyprus is not considered part of the Levant, at least not in the strictest (modern) sense, only in the wider sense. The references do not support this. It is mostly considered part of the Levant in British Archaeology. kupirijo (talk) 09:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Levant includes Cyprus. While it is geographically close, it is part of Mediterranean Europe. Racially, ethnically, culturally, and politically. So why should West Asia be mentioned? ShawarmaFan07 (talk) 23:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Cyprus is part of the Levant. The intro just says that the Levant is the "subregion that borders the Eastern Mediterranean sea to the west and core West Asia": is this an issue? a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 09:59, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The opening sentence is very hard to parse. It really needs some fixing. It’s also confusing because it suggests that the Levant borders the Middle East yet, clicking through to Middle East, it’s the same area. Rickogorman (talk) 10:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the discussion of the Levant and its peoples, languages, and culture, almost all mention of Jews, Hebrew, or Jewish culture is not there despite Israel being a country in the levant. 216.163.221.226 (talk) 13:01, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to recent ancient DNA studies, Levantines derive most of their ancestry from ancient Semitic-speaking peoples of the Bronze and Iron age Levant. Other Arabs include the Bedouins of Syrian Desert, Naqab and eastern Syria, who speak Bedouin Arabic. Non-Arab minorities include Circassians, Chechens, Turks, Jews, Turkmens, Assyrians, Kurds, Nawars and Armenians.
Ancient semitic people from the Levant were not broadly Arab (although there were some ethnic Arabs in the area) as the Arab conquest didn't happen until the 7th century. This section should be revised to clarify whether (a) modern Levantines self identify as Arabs, and (b) that the Arab communities described are completely separate ethnically from the described Levantines.
