'''Phrygian''' (endonym: {{ | '''Phrygian''' (endonym: {{phr-font|ʌ|ɛmɑ́ү ƞpɛ́ucɑı}}, ''Lechán préxai'', [lɛˈxaŋ ˈprɛksɛː]), also known as '''Prexian''', is a [[w:Semitic languages|Semitic language]] within the [[w:Afroasiatic languages|Afroasiatic language family]]. It is spoken mostly in the Principality of Smyrna, and in north- and southwestern [[w:Eretnid dynasty|Eretna]], concentrated in the western half of [[w:Anatolia|Anatolia]]. The standardized form of Phrygian is mainly based on the metropolitan Smyrna Dialect (ɜíoɛr {{phr-font|ᴇ|ɯɛppɑ́}}, ''sjíuet Emerrá''), one of the several regional dialects, which collectively descended from Classical Phrygian. The name ''Phrygian'' is a misnomer, as the classical [[w:Phrygian language|Phrygian language]], which used to be spoken very near to where the Semitic Phrygian tribes initially settled, is an [[w:Indo-European languages|Indo-European language]] closely related to [[w:Greek language|Greek]]. | ||
The historical development of Phrygian traces back to Classical Phrygian, which itself emerged from Old Phrygian. Classical Phrygian still survives as the liturgical language of the Church of Smyrna, one of the [[w:Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox Churches]]. | The historical development of Phrygian traces back to Classical Phrygian, which itself emerged from Old Phrygian.
