Carian language HD

The Carian language is an extinct language of the Luwian subgroup of the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European language family.The Carian language was spoken in Caria, a region of western Anatolia between the ancient regions of Lycia and Lydia, by the Carians, a name possibly first mentioned in Hittite sources.Prior to the late 20th century CE the language remained a total mystery even though many characters of the script appeared to be from the Greek alphabet.Using Greek phonetic values of letters investigators of the 19th and 20th centuries were unable to make headway and classified the language as non-Indo-European.
