Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and enigmatic world of the Lycian language, a lost tongue spoken in ancient Lycia, a region in southwest Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The author, driven by an interest in the connections between Greek dialects, sets out to explore the origins and relationships of the Lycian language, comparing it with other ancient languages such as Greek, Phrygian, and even Iranian languages like Zend. The book meticulously analyzes the Lycian alphabet and its origins, proposing a new interpretation of the values of its letters, and demonstrating how Lycian adopted elements from the Greek and Phoenician alphabets. Further, the book explores the structure of the Lycian language, particularly its declension system, arguing for its connection to the Indo-European language family, specifically its close relationship with the Arian branch, and highlighting its position as a link between Greek and Iranian languages. The author examines the forms of Lycian nouns and their variations, comparing them to similar structures in other languages to establish the language's unique features and place within the greater linguistic landscape. This meticulous exploration of the Lycian language provides a rich and detailed insight into the linguistic and cultural history of a civilization that has long been lost to the sands of time.
