Milyan also known as Lycian B and previously Lycian 2 is an ancient Anatolian language formerly regarded as a variety of Lycian but now accorded status as a separate language. It is attested from two inscriptions one of 45 syllables on the Xanthus Stele and the other shorter from a sarcophagus at Antiphellus. The Xanthus inscription is in verse with strophes marked off by the use of 〈)〉.
