Talk:Elymians

[Untitled]
"... numerous connections have been pointed out between what is known of Elymian religion and mythology and the religion and mythology of ancient Anatolia." This kind of "association" is mystification; it transfers no information to the reader. Is this so generalized because in fact the editor doesn't know, or because the connection itself is bogus? What is known of Elymian religion and mythology? Nothing in fact. Can anyone give a condensed report on published particulars? What Elymian sites have been professionally investigated, for a start?--Wetman 03:12, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is it anything non-Greek and specifically "anatolian" known today in their culture that has been defining as "Elymian"? Even the picture given says "Tempio greco" (greek temple). And if so famous writers (that lived with a difference of 4 centuries) and the roman state itself believed that the Elymians come from Troy, who are we to define these beliefs as "claims"?

Merger
The Elymian language article displays an indication that it has been suggested that that article be merged with the article on Elymians. I disagree. It is standard practice in the Wikipedia to have separate articles for the ethnic group and for the language, both for living and for extinct languages and peoples. The article on the ethnic group may include a See reference to the language article.

Anatolians = Indo-Europeans
This article says: "since the west of Anatolia at that time was inhabited by non-Indo-European tribes" = This is wrong! The western Anatolian people were the Luwians at that time... and they were an Indo-European people! The Hittites were also an Indo-European people! Böri (talk) 17:30, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
