CURRENT ARCHAEOLOGY ISSUE 36: LOST LANGUAGES OF ANATOLIA
In the last issue of the year, Aktüel Archaeology Magazine brings a historical touch to the agenda with the Lost Languages of Anatolia and shows the relationship between the languages used in Anatolia, their development, areas of use and how they disappeared over time and turned into a dead language.
Anatolia meets writing for the first time.
Writing was unknown until it first appeared and came to Anatolia (Kültepe / Kaneş) approximately 4000 years ago through Assyrian traders. The arrival of writing to Anatolia through the trade network led to the recording of thousands of years of knowledge without losing it.
Written languages are developing.
Later, people living in different regions of Anatolia developed their own writing systems, and this system took root in other languages. In addition to decipherable languages such as Hittite, Hurrian, Urartian, Luwian, Lycian and Carian, languages that have not yet been fully deciphered constitute a great mystery in the Lost Languages of Anatolia.
Languages eventually become extinct when the people who used them disappear, and if the people or the ruling class who used that language managed to write the language down, what the language tells us is left to the future. How much did the Hittites leave us, or how the unlucky Phrygians still haven't been able to tell their stories with their undeciphered language.
