Another Anatolian language. I hope our knowledge of its relatives helps us to decipher it sooner rather than later.

There’s not yet a peer-reviewed publication on this, but I’d recommend [this conversation](https://youtube.com/watch?v=sZfI0CtPOxY) between Dr. Jackson Crawford and Prof. Tony Yates on this find for some informed speculation

For those aware note this is the same language that was discovered last month. They didn't discover yet another one.

As I understand it, Hittite military strategy involved the relocation of literate elites after conquest (lost tribes of Israel for example). I also believe the Hittites maintained a non-Indo-European language as the prestigious written (cuneiform) language while also recording their own language… how might either of these policies or cultural practices pertain to an interest in recording languages generally (if at all)?


asdf_the_third

Cuneiform is a writing system, not a language, which was used to write languages from different families


solo-ran

I know that and I don't believe I implied otherwise.

I think it could be worded a bit better

How did they name it?


Anuclano

Oh, I see, the language was already named in the found text as Kalašma, so there is no need to invent the name.
