Philistine language
Ancient languages spoken by the Philistines
The Philistine language () is the extinct language of the Philistines. Very little is known about the language, of which a handful of words survived as cultural loanwords in Biblical Hebrew describing specifically Philistine institutions, like the serānim, the "lords" of the Philistine five cities ("pentapolis"), the ʿargāz receptacle, mentioned in 1 Samuel 6, and the title paḏi.
