It's pretty admirable ; the task of historians how they have managed to preserve one of the most historical ancient languages to date, else most of em all have faded.

The original residents preserved the language with their writing. The linguists just deciphered it (based on Germanic language) .

Thank you! I love ancient language and history

this is an excellent series! I wish more accessible videos like this existed for ancient languages.

Congratulations for this interesting presentation!

And does it still mean God or Deity in Kurdish?

If Thai letters are noodles, Hittite writings are needles.

The Hittite grammar by Prof. Theo van den Hout contains a concise but useful dictionary. Several dictionaries are available online, including the Oriental Institute reference dictionary, which, however, is not complete.

Thank you for these videos! They are greatly appreciated

Yes there is something wrong with that map, which was taken from the net. Mitanni is also misspelled.

Water? Dutch is a form of Hittite then.

"The presence of Hittites in Palestine before the Israelite Conquest thus presents a curious problem. So far from explaining it, all our accumulated knowledge of the people of Hatti has only made it more perplexing..." "We must also consider the passage Joshua i. 2-4, where Yahweh says to Joshua: 'Arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. ... from the Wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the Great River, the river Euphrates, and all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea towards the going down of the Sun, shall be your border.' This command does not make sense. The country between the Lebanon and the Euphrates was not across the Jordan for the Israelites at that time - their tents were pitched in the plains of Moab - nor was it ever occupied by them. In fact, they crossed the Jordan and occupied the hill-country of Judea - precisely the country attributed to the Hittites in Numbers xiii. 29." [The Hittites, O.R. Gurney, 1966, p. 59-60]

Kurdish is not the modern form of Hittite. Hittite has no modern descendants. Also true with all Anatolian languages.

@@rvat2003 Correct. Kurdish belongs to the Iranic branch of Indo-European, and it is simply a quirk of history that it is now spoken in an area once home to the Hittites.
