New ancient language discovered Anonymous 11/23/2023 (Thu) 15:19:31 No. 277

A new Indo-European cuneiform language has been discovered in clay tablets from the Hittite Empire. Dubbed Kalašmaic, it was recorded in Hittite tablets that preserved rituals from different parts of their empire in their native languages. This discovery made me very happy, I hope we get new words and roots in the Anatolian languages after the text is deciphered. Does /aca/ like linguistics and ancient languages? https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/new-indo-european-language-discovered/

The late Chalcolithic (Copper age) is more interesting that it seems, related region but ~2000 years before. Before people settled down for tin as alloyant they were using arsenic, antimony, nothing (pure copper), silver-nickel-zinc (from ores that were smelted into natural "alloys") depending on the region and availability. Except for arsenic all of those became rare by the early bronze age despite being cheap or natural impurities that started thanks to widespread long distance trade of tin.
