The sources I have read gave an earlier date than 800 BC for the innovation of alphabet reaching Anatolia. Additionally, one of the peoples who flooded into the power vacuum left by the Hittites ca. 1200 BC, were the Mushki or Bryges, who renamed themselves to Phrygians, but were evidently pushed out by the Macedonians, and who were already using script similar to Phoenician. See http://www.geocities.com/stojangr/index.html for a fascinating account... Although this site conservatively dates the Phrygian invasion from the Balkans to 900 BC, that seems inexplicably way too late to me, since the Assyrians encountered them (Mushku) on the Euphrates as early as 1160 BC. ፈቃደ ( ውይይት) 18:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Would you mind pointing me to something somewhere that explains exactly why it is considered a hoax? I'm not out of my mind, but please forgive my lack of expertise on ancient Phoenician writings. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I like to see things for myself and not take it as read only because someone else told me so. Thanks. ፈቃደ ( ውይይት) 13:44, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Dab, is your edit comment trying to say that the Phrygians and Mushki were not identical? Because every source I've ever seen, whether ancient or modern, says they were identical, and I've yet to see a source that says they were not. -- ፈቃደ ( ውይይት) 20:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Neo-Hittite is a language, the descendent of Old Hittite. This article means to cover Neo-Hittite culture. Successor states in Hittite territories that didn't share Hittite culture should be more carefully distinguished from Neo-Hittite culture. -- Wetman 16:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Propose moving the page to "Syro-Hittite states" or a similar name to better reflect the subject. In any case "Neo-Hittite" sounds like an adjective rather than a noun. 144.92.44.143 ( talk) 17:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
If there are no objections I'll move the page tomorrow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.44.143 ( talk) 18:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected links on Syro-Hittite states which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

The title of this article is misleading. Most of the so called Syro Hittite states were not in Syria. As one can see in a map they were mainly concentrated in South Anatolia (present Turkey) . I think Late Hittite states may be a better title. Nedim Ardoğa ( talk) 15:15, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
It seems that there's nothing Hittite about the so-called Neo-Hittite / Syro-Hittite states. Can this be explained in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2404:160:8010:5FF7:8CA6:3EE:BC78:2618 ( talk) 12:50, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
