More info: The Minoan language is a language of ancient Crete. Minoan was spoken before the island's civilization was replaced with that of the mainland, and its relation to Greek is unknown. While attempts have been made to connect it to other languages, Minoan should be considered a language isolate until a linguistic affiliation can be ascertained. The Minoan language was written in Linear A, a syllabary used extensively up to 1420 BC, primarily for the purposes of religious inscriptions and administrative records in the Minoan civilization.
