  Anatolian Languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Carians were people who were well known by Ancient Greek and Roman historians; they recorded that the original inhabitants of this region were pushed inland by an influx of people called Carians.
The Carians, who were notable as mercenary soldiers, had been driven from their native islands in the Aegean Sea by invading Greeks.
Carian was closer to Lydian than to Lycian, and therefore is considered to be a descendant of Hittite.

 Caria - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Modern linguistics very tentatively suggest that the Carian language belongs to the Anatolian subfamily of the Indo-European languages, related to indigenous archaic languages spoken in Lycia and Lydia.
Theinference is that, if the Carians had arrived in their country from the Ionian coast, their language would have been closer toGreek.
A group of mercenaries called Carians appear in inscriptions found in Ancient Egypt and Nubia during the reigns of Psammetichus I and II, as well as clearly mentioned at 2 Kings 11:4,and possibly at Samuel 8:18, 15:18 and 20:23.

 Herodotus' Conception of Foreign Languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A distrust of foreign languages is also reflected in a number of parables of the dangers, indeed the ultimate impossibility, of cultural integration.
It is this desire to systematise language, for example, that leads him to the false conclusion that all Persian names end in the letter sigma (1.139), or to the true observation that the names of all Greek festivals end in the letter alpha (1.148.2).
To begin with, despite the impression of his discussion of the Pelasgians that the Greek language was born fully-fledged, and despite the success of the surviving Pelasgians in 'guarding' their original language, Herodotus knows that language changes.

Herodotus says that according to a cretan legend the Carians were called Leleges and lived on the islands during the time of the Minoan Kingdom, that is, in the mid-2nd millenium B.C. The Carians themselves, however, claimed to be native Anatolians, related to the Lydians and Mysians.
