Fascinating. I speak a language from the area that still uses some Hurrian vocabulary, I always imagined these guys are my distant ancestors. Would be cool to actually hear the songs...

Turkish I suppose? What are some surviving Hurrian words?

Armenian. Mostly agricultural terms AFAIK. The word for apple (xnzor) is one that I remember.
