Observations on the language of the newly discovered Phrygian inscription from Gordion (G-12)

A newly discovered Phrygian inscription from Gordion, dated to 2021, offers unprecedented insights into the language and sociolinguistic context of ancient Mysia. The text, analyzed through detailed philological and linguistic scrutiny, reveals connections to the region around Pergamon, shedding light on the ethnolinguistic dynamics of the Phrygian civilization. The study employs a comprehensive approach, examining the inscription's structure, vocabulary, and contextual significance to reconstruct its historical and cultural background. This finding challenges existing assumptions about the distribution and evolution of Phrygian language, providing a critical piece in the puzzle of ancient Anatolian linguistics.
