The language (or languages) of the ancient Minoan civilization of Crete was written in Cretan hieroglyphs and later in the
Linear A syllabary. As the Cretan hieroglyphs are undeciphered and Linear A only partly deciphered, the Minoan language is
unknown and unclassified—and indeed, it cannot be known that the two scripts record the same language, or even that a single
language is recorded in each. The Eteocretan language, attested in a few alphabetic inscriptions from Crete a thousand years
later, is possibly a descendant of Minoan, but it is itself unclassified. |
