When did Native Anatolian languages go extinct?
They weren't native since they were Indo-European.

ok
let's talk about Hatti language then
was it related to semitic or caucasian languages?
>>563460
Caucasian, probably. Lemnian language spoken on Lemnos might have been a true native language of the region though. It's thought to be related to Etruscan.

There are reportedly some loanwords in modern Turkish, so I guess they could've lingered well into middle ages in rural areas.
>>563416
Turks.

Indo-European languages are from Anatolia though

was overtaken by Greek- which in turn was replaced by Turko-Persian dialects.
Kurdish, while an Iranian language, I wouldn't be surprised if it has some roots in the region.

Kurdish is a recent arrival in Asia Minor. Armenian would be a better bet.

Any examples?

languages were extinct long before the turks came.
Assimilation to Greek. The region had been dominated by Greeks in near-totality since at least Alexander, and the language only lost its complete cultural dominance with the Turkish invasion, long after there was any hope of Anatolian languages surviving.

Armenian is a later arrival, after the Anatolian languages proper had already arrived and had centuries of their own local history. Armenians were, however, just basically a later wave of the same thing - Indo-Europeans coming out of the Balkans into Anatolia, and setting up their own kingdom(s) on the model of those that came before them.

Also Galatian (that was Celtic) replaced some older stuff. Galatian was still spoken around 400 AD, at least according Jeremy, and maybe later too.

Fucking Anatoliatards. Kurgan hypothesis for the win.
>>566870
this is a completely discredited idea. modern genetic research has confirmed the steppe hypothesis beyond serious doubt.
