The Hittite language is the earliest preserved member of the
Indo-European family of languages. It was written on clay tablets
in central Asia Minor over a five hundred year span (ca. 1650-1180
B.C.) which witnessed the rise, the floruit, and the decline of
many political powers in the Near East. The Hittite Dictionary of
the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago (CHD) is a
comprehensive, bilingual Hittite-English dictionary. The CHD is not
just a list of words and their meanings, but rather a dictionary
that reflects and illustrates the ideas and material world of
Hittite society through its lexicon. Published letter by letter,
the CHD is a long-term project and the result of a painstaking
process of cultural, historical, and lexical investigation for all
those interested in Hittite culture and history. The CHD is the
only such project in the English speaking world.
