The Minoan language is a
language of ancient
Crete. Its relationship to
Greek is unknown and it was spoken before the island's civilisation was replaced with that of the
mainland. While attempts have been made to connect it to other languages Minoan should be considered a
language isolate until a linguistic affiliation can be ascertained. The Minoan language was written in
Linear A, a
syllabary used extensively up to 1420 BCE, primarily for the purposes of religious inscriptions and administrative records in the
Minoan civilization.
