Syro-Hittite states

The states that are called Neo-Hittite, or more recently Syro-Hittite, are Luwian, Aramaic and Phoenician-speaking political entities of the Iron Age northern Syria and southern Anatolia that arise following the collapse of the Hittite Empire around 1180 BCE and last until roughly 700 BCE.

The term "Neo-Hittite" is sometimes reserved specifically for the Luwian-speaking principalities like Milid and Carchemish, although in a wider sense the broader cultural term "Syro-Hittite" is now applied to all the entities that arose in south-central Anatolia following the Hittite collapse — such as Tabal and Quwê — as well as those of northern and coastal Syria.
