The Phrygian language is an ancient Indo-European language that was spoken in the region of Phrygia, located in what is now central Turkey. It is primarily known from inscriptions and a few written texts dating back to the 8th century BCE. The language is considered to be closely related to Greek and Armenian, reflecting the historical connections among these cultures. Phrygian is classified as a dead language, meaning it is no longer spoken today. Linguists have studied its grammar and vocabulary to understand its structure and influence on other languages. The decline of the Phrygian language coincided with the rise of Greek and Latin in the region.
