Script and Language
Attention: Hieroglyphic Luwian is not a writing system. Its the name given to the variant of Luwian that was written in Anatolian Hieroglyphs. This article should be eliminated and included in a larger one about Luwian (both Cuneiform and Hierogliphic). At the moment, there are quite a few differences between HL and CL, actually i can think only of one (C.vb. iya- vs. vb. iziya- = "to make/do"). An article specifically about Anatolian Hieroglyphs should be written, within thh project about Writing Systems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fgiusfredi (talk • contribs) 10:21, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Phonology and Graphematics
I do not see any reference here to the work of Rieken in dividing the  signs for example, and demonstrating that they are not completely interchangeable. Nor to the (rather interesting) theory of Kloekhorst on the division of  and <á>, and their interpretation as /a/ and /ʔ/ respectively. I trust I am not missing anything and that this would be an appropriate place to add these? Arkitype (talk) 18:03, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Contradictions
The citation at the end of the first sentence argues that the term Hieroglyphic Luwian can be applied only to a corpus of texts, since it does not define a particular dialect. Yet later we are told that "Cuneiform Luwian" is a "sister language". Are these just different writing systems or are there different language varieties at play?

 * , it appears to be that Ilya Yakubovich, who is a scholar of Luwian studies, is the one that argues for no distiction between them. As seen in Mouton/Yakubovich (2021): "Developing some observations that are already found in Melchert 2003 and van den Hout 2006: 236, Yakubovich (2010) argued that these foreign words in Hittite cuneiform texts essentially reflect  the  same  dialect  as  that  of  the  hieroglyphic  inscriptions." I think other sources I used for Indo-European vocabulary list cognates between HLuwian and CLuwian, as in, they are distinct dialects. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 13:07, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
