Welcome! You have reached the page on Anatolian languages, which is just one part of the "Language Finger" homepage, which is an index by language to the holdings of the Mansfield Library of The University of Montana.

So far the only languages on this page are Hittite and Mitanni.

Hittite						updated 1-4-2001

	Hittite (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the Anatolian branch of the Indo-Hittite family of
languages.  The language of the Hittite Empire which flourished approximately from 1700-
1200 B.C., Hittite was written in cunieform.  The discovery and interpretation of Hittite caused
linguists to reevaluate their thinking regarding the classification of Indo-European languages,
and to broaden that family to include Hittite and the other Anatolian languages.

Mitanni

						updated 5-17-2001

	Mitanni (Indo-Hittite), also called Hurrian, was written in a cunieform script
beginning in 1400 B.C.  For many years it was thought that no other language was
related to Mitanni, but recent scholarship has shown that it is one of the Anatolian
languages belonging to the Indo-Hittite family of languages.  The Mitanni Kingdom
flourished in the 15th and 14th centuries B.C.; it was located in modern-day Iraq.
