Abstract:

Luvian is the language of Anatolian hieroglyphic inscriptions and a close relative 
of Hittite. This book explores the Luvian ethnic history through sociolinguistic 
methods, with an emphasis on the interpretation of contacts between Luvian and 
its linguistic neighbors, such as Hittite, Hurrian, and Greek. It is concluded that 
Luvian was originally spoken in the central part of Anatolia. Subsequent Luvian 
migrations were connected with the expansion of the Hittite state, where Hittite 
was the socially dominant language, but the Luvian speakers were more 
numerous. The unstable balance between the Hittite and the Luvian speakers 
continued to shift in favor of the second group, to the point that the Hittite elites 
were fully bilingual in Luvian.
