This is a list of ancient Anatolian peoples who inhabited most of Anatolia (or Asia Minor). “Anatolian” here has the meaning of an Indo-European branch of peoples that lived in the Anatolia Peninsula or Asia Minor, although not all ancient peoples that dwelt in this Peninsula were Indo-Europeans. These peoples were speakers of the Anatolian branch (or subfamily) of the Indo-European language family.[1]
