Definition
- Hittite (natively "[in the language] of Neša") is the extinct language once spoken by the Hittites, a people who created an empire centred on Hattusa in north-central Anatolia. The language is attested in cuneiform, in records from the 16th (Anitta text) down to the 13th century BC, with isolated Hittite loanwords and numerous personal names appearing in an Old Assyrian context from as early as the 20th century BC.
