Hittite is the
extinct language once spoken by the
Hittites, a people who created an empire centered on ancient
Hattusas (modern
Boğazkale) in north-central
Anatolia (modern Turkey). The language was spoken from approximately
1600 BC (and probably before) to
1100 BC. There is some attestation that Hittite and related languages continued to be spoken in Anatolia for a few hundred years following the collapse of the Hittite empire and the last of the Hittite texts.
