Luwian language - Luwian (English spelling)
A language spoken in southern Asia Minor around the 15th century BCE, it is one of the so-called Anatolian languages. It is known from documents in cuneiform script belonging to the Indo-European language family. Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions from a later period also seem to be a dialect of Luvian, and Lycian is thought to be closely related.

Japanese:
前 15世紀前後に小アジア南部で話されていた言語で,いわゆるアナトリア諸語の一つ。インド=ヨーロッパ語族に属する楔形文字の文書から知られる。時代の下がるヒッタイト象形文字の碑文も,ルウィ語の一方言らしく,さらにリュキア語も近い関係にあると思われる。
