According to him, the agrarian revolution begun in Anatolia, and from there, it spread out in Europe. He supposed that these farmers were carriers of the Proto-Indo-European language, but his theory had weak support from Indo-European linguists. Some questions then arise: What language(s) was introduced in the Ægean islands and mainland Greece by these early farmers? Can we figure out the affiliations of the Minoan language? A different agrarian hypothesis will be shown in these pages, unrelated to the Indo-European and Semitic language families. It instead is featuring a new language family that encompasses the Ægean, Anatolia, Caucasus and the Near East.

Hattic or Hattili, was a pre-historic language spoken in central Anatolia prior to and during the first centuries of establishment of the Hittite empire. Our knowledge about this language is limited, while material about it in Greek is inexistent. That is a gap I wish to fill. The region of central Anatolia is also connected to the migrations of the first farmers that settled in Greece during the neolithic period, therefore it would be of great value if the Greek academic community gave some attention to this less studied and very old language.
