Pamphylian is a little-attested and isolated dialect of Ancient Greek which was spoken in Pamphylia on the southern coast of Asia Minor. Its origins and relation to other Greek dialects are uncertain. A number of scholars have distinguished in Pamphylian dialect important isoglosses with Arcadocypriot which allow them to be studied together. Pamphylia means land of all phyles (tribes). The Achaeans may have settled the region while under the leadership of Amphilochus Calchas and Mopsus.
