Résumé
Aramaic was used in Lycia as the official language of the Achaemenid Empire, whereas Lycian remained the main communication language as well as the language of the local power. Greek, attested in Lycia from the 5th century BC onwards, first appears to be inseparable from the poetic genre, which was used by Lycian dynasts in public inscriptions. Then, once Lycia was ruled by the Carian satrapy, Greek became an official language, alongside Lycian. Since then, as among the Carian elites, Greek was also used in private bilingual inscriptions, the composition of which reveals some cases of linguistic interferences.
