The '''Lutescan language''' was the language spoken to the north of the [[Mysia]] region ([[Hellespontica]]) of [[Asia Minor]] until ca. [[1000 BC]].

'''Lutescens''' or '''lutescans''' (Latin for "marshy, living in the marshes", from ''lutum'' "marsh, swamp, mud") may refer to:

*[[Caiman lutescens]], a fossil species of caiman.

Little is known about the [[phonology]] of the language. It is believed to be an [[Anatolian language]]. It was spoken only by the previously nomadic Lutescan people settled around the shores of Lake [[Artynia]] at ca. [[1200 BC]].

*[[Dypsis lutescens]], a palm

Soon after they settled, their language and culture was abandoned as they integrated with the [[Phrygians]], and only a small number of references to the Lutescan language appear in contemporary surviving [[Aeolian]] writing of the period.

*[[Pitcairnia lutescens]], a species of bromeliads

*[[Craterellus lutescens]], a mushroom

*[[Helix lutescens]], a snail

*[[Aloeides lutescens]], a butterfly

*[[Thalassoma lutescens]], a fish

*[[Ellobius lutescens]], a rodent

*Lutescens, a variety of wheat cultivated in Eastern Europe, see [[Taxonomy of wheat]]

*Tremella lutescens, a formerly recognized species of fungus, see [[Tremella mesenterica]]

*anglicized "lutescan" used once of the [[Mysian language]] (Titchener, J.B. 1926, "Synopsis of Greek and Roman Civilization", Cambridge MA)
