Hittite was the language of the Hittite Kingdom, which ruled over large parts of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) in the period 1650–1180 BC. Hittite is written in the cuneiform script on clay tablets, and is the oldest attested Indo-European language. In this course, an introduction to the grammar of Hittite will be offered. At the end of the course, the student will be able to independently read Hittite texts with the help of a dictionary and grammar. Note that the cuneiform script will not be taught in this course: all texts are read in transliteration.

• Level: Knowledge of one or more other ancient Indo-European language is helpful, but not required.
• Requirements: Daily homework.
• Materials: A syllabus will be sent to the participants beforehand.

The course will introduce students to Hieroglyphic Luwian, an Indo-European language of the Anatolian branch, attested from the 14^th to the 7^th centuries BCE. We will treat synchronic grammar as well as aspects of historical grammar, and read inscriptions in the indigenous hieroglyphic script.

• Level: Basic knowledge of linguistic terminology will be presupposed. Some knowledge of Hittite or Indo-European more generally will be beneficial but is not required.
• Requirements: There will be daily homework.
• Materials: The materials for this course will be distributed by the teacher.

This course offers an introduction to Lycian, an Anatolian Indo-European language attested in inscriptions from classical Lycia. It situates the Lycian corpus within its geographical and historical context and provides an overview of the language’s phonological, morphological, and syntactic features based on epigraphic evidence. The course also introduces Lycian B (Milyan), the closely related Anatolian language documented within the Lycian corpus. Special attention is paid to the methodological challenges involved in the study of fragmentarily attested languages, and a historical-comparative perspective places Lycian within the wider Anatolian framework.

• Level: No previous knowledge of Lycian or its documentation is required.
• Requirements: No homework is required.
• Materials: All course materials will be provided by the instructor during the course.

This course introduces Carian, Sidetic, and Pisidian, three Anatolian Indo-European languages documented in epigraphic sources from southwestern Asia Minor. The focus lies primarily on Carian, the best-attested of the three. The course offers an up-to-date overview of current linguistic knowledge of these languages and their position within the Anatolian branch of Indo-European. Particular attention is devoted to the decipherment of the Carian and Sidetic scripts, whose interpretation has long posed major challenges and has seen significant advances in recent years.

• Level: No previous knowledge of Carian, Sidetic, or Pisidian, or of their documentation, is required.
• Requirements: No homework is required.
• Materials: All course materials will be provided by the instructor during the course.
