The Mysian language was spoken by Mysians inhabiting Mysia in north-west Anatolia.
Little is known about the Mysian language. Strabo noted that it was, "in a way, a mixture of the Lydian and Phrygian languages".[1] As such, the Mysian language could be a language of the Anatolian or Phrygian group. However, a passage in Athenaeus suggests that the Mysian language was akin to the barely attested Paeonian language of Paeonia, north of Macedon.
