Hattic was a non-Indo-European, agglutinative language spoken by the Hattians in Asia Minor between the 3rd and the 2nd millennia BC. Scholars call this language 'Hattic' to distinguish it from the Hittite language -- which its own speakers called Nesian -- the Indo-European language of the Hittite Empire. The heartland of this oldest attested language of Anatolia, before the arrival of Nesian speakers, ranged from Hattusa (then called Hattus) northward to Nerik. Other cities mentioned in Hattic include Tuhumiyara and Tissaruliya. The Nesian-speakers conquered Hattus from Kanesh to its south, in the 1700s BCE. They eventually absorbed or replaced the Hattic speakers; but they retained the name Hatti for the region. The Nesian / Hittite term for Hattic was hattili after the city of Hattus, whereas the Hittite dynasty called their own language nesili after their city of origin Kanesh. The form Hittite in English originally comes from biblical Heth, quite possibly connected to common Assyrian and Egyptian designations of Land of the Hatti (Khatti) west of the Euphrates. It is unknown what native speakers of hattili called their own language.
