Currency & Language in North Cyprus

The local currency in Northern Cyprus is the New Turkish Lire or YTL, however every outlet accepts Sterling, US Dollars and Euros. The local language is Turkish, but most people speak fluent English. In North Cyprus property is purchased in Sterling, so as an investment opportunity for Brits the property market in Northern Cyprus currently outstrips that of the South where the currency is now the Euro, which is, at the time of writing, strong against the pound.
