=== Pronouns === In addition to [[personal pronouns]] typical of Anatolian languages, Luwian also has [[demonstrative pronouns]], the which are formed from ''apa-'' and ''za-/zi-''. The case endings are similar those of Hittite, but not all cases are attested for personal pronouns. In the third person, the demonstrative pronoun ''apa-'' occurs instead of the personal pronoun. {| class="wikitable" |- ! rowspan="2" colspan="2" | ! colspan="2" | Personal pronouns !

All known forms of the personal pronouns are given, but it is not clear how their meanings differed or how they changed for different cases. In addition to the forms given in the table, Luwian also had a demonstrative pronoun formed from the stem ''za-/zi-'', but not all cases are known, and also a [[relative pronoun]], which was declined regularly: ''kwis'' (nominative singular animate), ''kwin'' (accusative singular animate), ''kwinzi'' (nominative/accusative plural animate), ''kwati'' (ablative/instrumental singular), ''kwanza'' (dative/locative plural), ''kwaya'' (nominative/accusative plural inanimate). Some [[indefinite pronoun]]s whose meanings are not entirely clear are also transmitted.
