乌拉尔图语

乌拉尔图语是一种已绝迹的胡里安-乌拉尔图语系语言，曾被乌拉尔图古王国（当今土耳其东部安那托利亚地区亚美尼亚高原凡湖附近）的居民使用。一些人认为它可能在范湖周围和上扎布河流域的地区占主导地位^[1]，而另一些人则认为它是被组成统治阶层的相对较少的人口所使用^[2]。乌拉尔图语最早于公元前九世纪证实，公元前585年乌拉尔图陷落后不再书写并灭绝，由亚美尼亚语替代。

Although virtually all the cuneiform records that survive from Urartu are in one sense or another royal, they provide clues to the existence of linguistic diversity in the empire. There is no basis for the a priori assumption that a large number of people ever spoke Urartian. Urartian words are not borrowed in any numbers by neighboring peoples, and the language disappears from the written record along with the government
