Anatolian peoples
Indo-European ethnolinguistic group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Indo-European-speaking ethnolinguistic group. For ancient peoples of Anatolia, see List of ancient peoples of Anatolia.
The Anatolians were Indo-European-speaking peoples of the Anatolian Peninsula in present-day Turkey, identified by their use of the Anatolian languages.[1] These peoples were among the oldest Indo-European ethnolinguistic groups and one of the most archaic, because Anatolians were among the first Indo-European peoples to separate from the Proto-Indo-European community that gave origin to the individual Indo-European peoples.[2][1]
