Isaurian is an extinct language spoken in the area of Isauria, Asia Minor. Epigraphic evidence, including funerary inscriptions, has been found into the 6th century AD.[1][2] The personal names of its speakers appear to be derived from Luwian and thus Indo-European.[3] Isaurian names containing clear Anatolian roots include Οαδας Oadas, Τροκονδας Trokondas (cf. Luwian Tarḫunt, Lycian 𐊗𐊕𐊌𐊌𐊑𐊗 Trqqñt), Κουδεις Koudeis (cf. Lycian Kuwata), and Μοασις Moasis (cf. Hittite muwa "power").[4]
The Isaurian personal name Τουατρις Touatris may reflect the Indo-European word for 'daughter' (compare Hieroglyphic Luwian FILIAtú-wa/i-tara/i-na).[5]
