Lutescens

The Lutescan language was the language spoken to the north of the Mysia region (Hellespontica) of Asia minor until ca. 1000 BC.

Little is known about the phonology of the language. It is believed to be of the Indo-Hittite group of Anatolian languages and was spoken only by the previously nomadic Lutescan people settled around the shores of Lake Artynia at ca. 1200 BC. Soon after they settled, their language and culture was abandoned as they integrated with the Phrygians, and only a small number of references to the Lutescan language appear in contemporary surviving Aeolian writing of the period.
