I erased the mention that "though of Czech origin, he published his work in German or French". It indicates that he did not published in Czech. Of course, Bedřich Hrozný published his work in French or German (every scientist from relatively small nation does not afford to publish exclusively in his mother tongue), but it does not mean that he did not published in Czech. Here is some of his work which he published in Czech: Nejstarší dějiny Přední Asie, Indie a Kréty; V říši půlměsíce. Cesty a výkopy v Turecku; Vlastní životopis v kostce; Stručný přehled mých vědeckých objevů.

'in non-famous language'

I suspect that the "non-famous language" was actually an "unknown language." -- Smerdis of Tlön 23:28, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

We are told

We are told that Hrozny deciphered the ancient Hittite language. There were many mistakes in his effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.53.170 (talk) 12:04, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

H. Craig Melchert says about 15% of Hrozny's work was incorrect at one point.
