Indo-Hittite - a language family in which Proto-Anatolian and Proto-Indo-European are considered coordinate.
Hittite - 1. a member of an ancient people who established a powerful empire in Asia Minor and Syria, dominant from about 1900 to 1200 B.C. 2. an extinct language of the Anatolian branch of Indo-European; preserved in cuneiform inscriptions of the second millennium B.C. [1600-10; < Hebrew hitt(im) Hittite (cf. Hittite Khatti) + ITE]
Genesis 10.18-20 lists ELEVEN Hamitic nations of Canaan (the word "Hittite" is derived from "Heth", but now indiscriminately includes all the Aryan nations dispossessed by the Israelites and other Semitic nations):

Eventually conquering and enslaving nearly all middle-eastern Hamites
(Civilization), savage Semites became the absolute masters of most of the Hamitic religious, economic, governmental, and other magnificent social institutions of the first Civilization on Earth and therefore became somewhat familiar with Hamitic science, history, and Hamitic religion, values and scriptures, etc. Semites incorporated some of these into their own theology and "sacred" scriputres, etc., thereby transmitting fragments (such as the genealogy above) of them to us, however distorted, falsified, maligned, plagiarized, etc. for their own political, religious, etc. purposes.
The Semitic conquerors were a minority, so why did Indo-Hittite languages almost completely disappear from the Fertile Crescent? The Bible thoroughly documents the genocide and enslavement (by Hebrew and other Semitic nations) of the Hittites and other Hamitic nations of Cannan. Were slaves who dared speak Indo-Hittite languages punished with death? Kurdish is an indigenous Indo-Hittite language which still survives within a few hundred miles of ancient Canaan.
Over the millennia, various Aryan nations and fragments thereof were called different names. I speculate that Hittites (Heth) were the principal ancestral clan or nation of the Celts, and that the gigantic (bred for farm work, etc.?) Amorites (Rephaim, Zamzummin, etc.), were the principal ancestral forefathers of all the Germanic nations (Germans, Anglo-Saxons, etc.); Goliath is an Aryan name.
Genesis 10 states that there were four "sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan". In my opinion, Mizraim were groups of Hamitic
farmers who left Canaan in search of farm land, and began to colonize Egypt about 11 KYA; Cush were groups of Hamitic farmers who left northern Canaan in search of farm land, began to colonize the Tigres-Euphrates about 6 KYA, and
became the first Civilization to completely succumb to Semitic savages.
The fair-skinned ancestors of the Hamites who settled Canaan did so at the peak of the last Ice Age (about 20 KYA) because humidity was at an all-time low in their treeless sub-saharan Sahel homelands. At that time the Phut (Somalis, Ethiopians, etc.) were already very distantly related to them, and remained in Africa because their once forested north-eastern African home-lands were more humid. Like almost all races which have inhabited dark forests for tens of millennia, Phut are dark-skinned (for camouflage), and some have kinky hair, a resemblance to Negroes which deceives most observers. Ancient Phut were as distantly related to Negroes as any race. Phut remained in north-east Africa south of Egypt, so never became civilized. Like most of north Africa, their homelands have also been savagely invaded by Semites.
Some confuse the ancestors of Aryans with Japhet, which the Bible states inhabited southern Europe. Japhet are the CroMagnon pre-Aryan races of Europe, most of whom now speak the Indo-Hittite (Aryan) languages of the Civilizations which Aryans brought with them from the Fertile Crescent millennia ago. Before Aryans interbred with CroMagnon savages their southern European Civlizations dominated much of Eurasia, but in my opinion, never outshown the originals of their fertile crescent ancestors.
My explanation of what the author of the definition of "Hittite" given at the top of this page meant by "dominant from about 1900 to 1200 B.C." follows:
Due to the enormous productivity of Egypt, it was the "dominant" part of Hamitic Civilization even before the Semitic (Chaldean, etc.) conquest of Mesopotamia (Ur, Sumer, etc.) about 4.5 KYA. The Semitic Hyksos conquered Hamitic Egypt about 4 KYA (some Jews claim 12 years before Abraham from "UR of the Chaldeas" settled there), but were unable to conquer the Hittites, who could defend their territory because Hittites had kept their knowledge of how to make iron secret.
A UNIFIED Hamitic civilization (tower of Babel?) was therefore divided by Semitic conquest, which left the Hittites "dominant in Asia Minor and Syria from about 1900 to 1200 B.C.".
During the centuries in which Hyksos used the resources of Egypt to try to conquer the Hittites, Canaan was the principal battleground, forced to side either with the Hittites or Hyksos-ruled Egypt, depending on who occupied it. By the time the Hamitic clans of the Nile led by Amosis I had expelled the gold-laden Semite minority which had ruled Egypt for centuries, Canaan had been weaken by centuries of devastating warfare, and was no longer even considered to be a part of Egypt.
Did Hebrews and the other Semitic tribes which had been expelled from Egypt
attempt to exterminate "everything that breathed" (a "god-ordained?" campaign of genocide of Civilization that lasted centuries, according to the Hebrew Tanach) in Hamitic Canaan in order to preclude a Hamitic slave revolt like the one that dethroned the Semitic race in Egypt?
Jews still celebrate their ancestors' bloody conquest of Jerusalem (the last
Hamite city of Canaan to succumb, about 3 KYA), but the Hebrew extermination
of Gentiles did not end there.
When Rabbi Paul of Tarsus was on the road to Damascus during his career of
murderous religious persecution, did it dawn on him how useful it would be
to his cause to "Christianize" our ancestors? "For thus saith the LORD God
of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all
the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. And they shall drink, and be
moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them." Jeremiah
