bibliolater, "The great majority were written in the empire’s main language – Hittite. But the Hittite government’s scribes wrote around 5 per cent of them fully or partly in the languages of the empire’s minority ethnic groups – peoples like the Luwians (south-eastern Anatolians), Palaians (from part of north-west Anatolian), Hattians (central Anatolians) and Hurrians (from Syria and northern Mesopotamia)." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/hittite-ancient-language-turkey-ankara-b2451364.html #Archaeology #Archaeodons #Language #Languages #Turkey @archaeodons @linguistics
