1. Story
2. Bedřich Hrozný announced that the unidentified principal language of the Boğazköy tablets was Indo-European, recognising inflectional endings and vocabulary of Indo-European type within the cuneiform text; his full treatment, Die Sprache der Hethiter, appeared in 1917. The identification added the earliest substantially attested branch of the family and one that turned out to be archaic in ways that forced the family tree to be redrawn, with Anatolian now widely placed as the first branch to separate.

27. Evidence
28. Supports the identification of Hittite as an Indo-European language, announced in 1915 and set out in full in this volume. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. The 1915 announcement date and the 1906 excavation date under Winckler are given from standing knowledge of the history of the decipherment, not from this volume.
