Lutescan language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lutescan language was a language spoken in the north of the Mysia region (Hellespontica) of Asia Minor until ca. 1000 BC.

Little is known about the phonology of the language. It may have been an Anatolian language. It was spoken by the nomadic Lutescan people, who settled on the shores of Lake Artynia around 1200 BC. Once they became sedentary, their language and culture were abandoned as they became integrated with the Phrygians, and only a small number of references to the Lutescan language appear in contemporary surviving Aeolian writings of the period.
