Luwian language

Luwian is an ancient language that belonged to the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family. It was spoken in what is now modern-day Turkey, primarily during the second millennium BCE. Luwian is known from inscriptions, particularly in hieroglyphic and cuneiform scripts. The language was used by the Hittite civilization and surrounding cultures. Its significance lies in its contribution to our understanding of the history, culture, and interactions of ancient peoples in the Near East, providing insights into their language, trade, and political relationships.
