rdf:type	lvont:Language
rdfs:comment	The language which Linear A, an undeciphered syllabary which developed from an earlier hieroglyphic script prevalent in the southern Aegean between 2100 - 1700 BC, was used to write. The script probably originated on Crete, where it is most commonly found, though it is also found on other Aegean islands. The language which the script contains is unknown, though it is probably a precursor of Greek, and thus non-Indo-European. Judging by the evidence of Linear B, which developed from Linear A and was used to write an archaic form of Ancient Greek, it was used to represent a language with no distinction between voiced and voiceless consonants, long and short vowels, or [l] and [r]. 1700 - 1550 BC.
