{{Contains special characters|cuneiform}}'''Hurrian''' is an extinct [[Hurro-Urartian language]] spoken by the [[Hurrians]] (Khurrites), a people who entered northern [[Mesopotamia]] around 2300 BC and had mostly vanished by 1000 BC. Hurrian was the language of the [[Mitanni]] kingdom in northern Mesopotamia and was likely spoken at least initially in Hurrian settlements in modern-day [[Syria]].
