The Anatolian languages are an ancient branch of the Indo-European language family that were spoken in the region of Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. This group includes languages such as Hittite, Luwian, and Lycian, which were used primarily during the second millennium BCE. These languages are known from inscriptions and texts, providing valuable insights into early Anatolian cultures and societies. The Hittite language is the most well-documented of the Anatolian languages, with a rich corpus of texts, including legal documents, treaties, and religious hymns. The study of these languages has helped linguists understand the development of the Indo-European languages and the historical interactions between different ancient civilizations in the region.
