The Philistine language (/ˈfɪləstiːn,ˈfɪləstaɪn,fəˈlɪstən,fəˈlɪstiːn/)[1] is the extinct language of the Philistines. Very little is known about the language, of which a handful of words survived as cultural loanwords in Biblical Hebrew, describing specifically Philistine institutions, like the seranim, the "lords" of the Philistine five cities ("Pentapolis"),[2] or the ’argáz receptacle, which occurs in 1 Samuel 6 and nowhere else,[3] or the title padî.[4]

^The term is used as a military rank in contemporary Israel, equivalent to captain.
^E. Sapir, "Hebrew 'argáz, a Philistine Word," Journal of the American Oriental Society (1936:272–281), found it to signify the box of a cart "a presumably non-Semitic word" (p. 274).
