In recent years, scholars have slowly built a case for Luwians being the most widespread people and for Luwian being the most widespread language of Anatolia during the Bronze Age. Even more recently, a rich dialectological model has been proposed, which posits the presence of several dialects. Since proper dialects only exist with stable localized groups of speakers, the demographic and the linguistic hypotheses support each other. Nonetheless, in this paper I will try to discuss the supporting evidence and evaluate whether this combined model of Pan-Luwianism is valid as it is or needs to be reconsidered at least in part.
