  Hattic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hattic was a non- Indo-European language spoken in Asia Minor between the 3rd and the 2nd millennia BC, before the appearance of the Hittites.
Hattic appears to be related to the Northwest Caucasian (Circassian) family.
The names "Hattic" and "Hittite" are modern terms, and both are apparently derived from the same word, the ancient name of the region where the two cultures flourished, which has been reconstructed as Hatti in the Hittite language.

 Hittites - One Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The name " Hattic " is used by anatolists to distinguish this language from the Indo-European Hittite language, which appeared in the scene at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC and became the administrative language of the Hittite kingdom over the next six or seven centuries.
The early Hittites, whose prior whereabouts are unknown, borrowed heavily from the pre-existing Hattian culture, and also from that of the Assyrian traders — in particular the cuneiform writing and the use of cylindrical seals.
Since Hattic continued to be used in the Hittite kingdom for religious purposes, and there is substantial continuity between the two cultures, it is not known whether the Hattic speakers — the Hattians — were displaced by the speakers of Hittite, were absorbed by them, or just adopted their language.

Some iron oxides are effective fluxes for copper smelting; it is possible that small amounts of metallic iron were made as a byproduct of copper and bronze production throughout the bronze age.
In Anatolia, smelted iron was occasionally used for ornamental weapons: an iron-bladed dagger with a bronze hilt has been recovered from a Hattic tomb dating from 2500 BC.
Also, the Egyptian ruler Tutankhamun died in 1323 BC and was buried with an iron dagger with a golden hilt.

 Re: Vedic Indo-Aryans North of the Black Sea ~2000 BC!
Hattic might be a retronym derived from Hattus (the name of the Hittite country, I think), Hattusa(s) (the Hittite capital), or from Hatti, the name of a people in Akkadian.
While Hittite replaced Hattic, the latter remained an important liturgical language and a source of (coinages of?) legal and administrative terms, and a major source of Hittite's lexical corpus.
I can't remember where I read the 80% figure, but perhaps it said "80% non-IE vocabulary" rather than "80% Hattic" or alternatively, perhaps it said "20% IE vocabulary".

Cuneiform developed into becoming the dominating writing style of the Middle East, and even spread to Egypt, where hieroglyphic writing normally dominated.
Cuneiform writing was also applied to several local languages, like Hurrian in northern Mesopotamia, Syria and Asia Minor, Eblaite in Syria, Hittite, Luwian, Palaic and Hattic in Asia Minor, and Urartian in Armenia.
Later developments of cuneiform writing came to be used in Syria with Ugaritic and Persia with Old Persian symbols.

The rulers in Ḫattuša still bear indiginous Hattic names and customs, but now they speak in Hittite.
Nowhere is the non-Indo-European Hattic language ( ḫatili in the texts, meaning "in the manner of Ḫattuša") still actively used - it has been relegated to a few native religious rituals and court titulary.

Because Akkadian, the language of later inhabitants of Sumer, became the language of international communication it was studied in schools throughout the ancient Middle East, and the use of cuneiform spread to Asia Minor, Syria, Persia, and, for diplomatic correspondence, to Egypt.
It was also adapted for the writing of local languages, such as Hurrian in northern Mesopotamia, Syria, and Asia Minor; Eblaite in Syria; Hittite, Luwian, Palaic, and Hattic in Asia Minor; Urartian, known also as Vannic, in Armenia; and Elamite in Persia.
New systems of writing, using the wedge as the basic writing tool but differing from the Babylonian system in terms of the shape and use of characters, were devised also.
