The Phrygian language was the Indo-European language of the Phrygians, spoken in Asia Minor during Classical Antiquity (2nd millennium BC to 5th century AD). Phrygian is considered by some to have been closely related to Greek.〔Brixhe, Cl. "Le Phrygien". In Fr. Bader (ed.), ''Langues indo-européennes'', pp. 165-178, Paris: CNRS Editions.〕〔Woodard, Roger D. ''The Ancient Languages of Asia Minor''. Cambridge University Press, 2008, ISBN 0-521-68496-X, p. 72. "Unquestionably, however, Phrygian is most closely linked with Greek."〕 However, others, such as Eric P. Hamp, relate Phrygian with Italo-Celtic in a "Northwest Indo-European" group. The similarity of some Phrygian words to Greek ones was observed by Plato in his ''Cratylus'' (410a). ==Inscriptions== Phrygian is attested by two corpora, one from around 800 BCE and later (Paleo-Phrygian), and then after a period of several centuries from around the beginning of the Common Era (Neo-Phrygian). The Paleo-Phrygian corpus is further divided (geographically) into inscriptions of Midas (city) (M, W), Gordion, Central (C), Bithynia (B), Pteria (P), Tyana (T), Daskyleion (Dask), Bayindir (Bay), and "various" (Dd, ''documents divers''). The Mysian inscriptions seem to be in a separate dialect (in an alphabet with an additional letter, "Mysian-s"). The last mentions of the language date to the 5th century CE and it was likely extinct by the 7th century CE. Paleo-Phrygian used a Phoenician-derived script (its ties with Greek are debated), while Neo-Phrygian used the Greek script. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phrygian language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
