Hattic Language - An Introduction
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 06. 2024
- Hattic Language was spoken by the Hattians in the Anatolian peninsula prior to the rise of the Hittites. Hattic is a fascinating language that has been preserved in the Hittite corpus. It had a significant influence on both Hittite language and culture, while itself being influenced by another Anatolian language, Luwian.
This video serves as an overview, and the pictures and audio are included for visual and auditory appeal. All of the Hattic is genuine, however.
Some of the pictures are AI-generated, and I'm sure you can tell which ones.
Hattic is used as an adjective to describe the language, Hattian for everything else.

I have studied Hattic as well as the Anatolian languages. I hope we will be able to find more evidence of the forms.
I read about Hittite royal families baring the hattic names on wiki.
This is a great video. love the animations.
This is one of the most interesting channels on the internet...
Thanks for the kind words! Stay tuned because a new video will be released in a few hous!
Fascinating! Just one question: Do the vowels for _kaatah_ change length when the word goes to the plural, or is this just a typo? Because if it's the former, I would love to hear about how such a process came to be and what environments trigger these mutations. Might it have something to do with _ablaut_ or some other IE process?
I'm known to have a type inside me but I believe this one isn't! I'll double check later but I believe I wrote everything as I had seen it attested in the cuneiform.
The length of the vowels using Hittite cuneiform could be tricky because 'kat' could be represented using the sign for 'kat' or two signs 'ka' and 'at' and Hittite scribes were known to be a little irregular with these types of spelling. It's even speculated that differences might have represented stress rather than vowel length (a similar argument exists when considering vowel length in Tocharian). There is an attempt to link Hattic with some of the Caucasian languages, and I know ablaut was a feature of Caucasian languages too (although I don't know to what extent). I do know that Kassian links the root -kata with proto-yeniseian were the first 'a' was a glottal stop, I believe. Maybe this is what caused the irregular spelling (if Hattic too preserved it obviously). But lot's of unanswered questions as you can see!
Check out Kassian's article, maybe there is something in there and let me know what you think

Cheers!
@@LearnHittite Awesome, I'll have a read! Thanks for the lesson!
Please teach everything to speak daily language.

What language replaced the hattic language? Some people say hittite and others say luwian. I have no idea.. What time this language was forgotten?
It's a very difficult question to answer because it's possible that some poorly attested neighbouring languages were actually Hattic or a dialect of it. I'd say more Luwian than Hittite but that's honestly more like my gut instinct. Hattic could've possibly stayed in use by small groups for a long time after its last attestation.
@@LearnHittite Thanks for your answer, so Hittite language was basically administrative language in the Land of Hatti. I guess. I also agree with you that this language might be spoken in rural areas.
@@LearnHittite And what do you think about "Phyrgian" language? Was it also spoken after collapse of Hittite Empire?
Yes Phrygian was later, I plan on doing a video on Phrygian shortly so keep tuned!
@@LearnHittiteI'm Circassian and according to researches and evidences, hatti langauge is today's Circassian(caucasian) language. Urartian language is similar to chechen (again caucasian). Hitit language is indo european language so we can say today's persian. Akad language is today's arabic.it seems that all anotolia was captured by persians and hatti people were forced to go caucasia.
hoo deh he byuh reh (goedegebuure) pls
Hattier oder Hethiter?
It's Hattic language in this video but usually I cover Hittite
Their endings are just like in Hindi a is male i is female same in arabic inta wa inti kifak kifik
hmm, that's a curious observation, thank you!
EXCEPT, Hattic has it the other way around. Kaati was king, and Kaatah was queen. The Hindi forms came from Sanskrit, where however long -ah could mark a feminine word.
