Lycian language
Lycian was an Indo-European language, one of the Anatolian languages, that was spoken in the Iron age city-state of Lycia in Anatolia, present day Turkey. It is believed by some specialists to be a descendant of Hittite or Luwian or perhaps both. It became extinct around the first century BC and was replaced by Greek. The language is known from a few brief inscriptions. Lycian had its own alphabet that was closely related to the Greek alphabet.
