`  There is definite cultural continuity:  -education: The only university in the WORLD having the name Hittite is in Turkey(Anatolia)  http://hitit.edu.tr/index_eng.htm  -city symbols: -> Turkey(Current name of Anatolian country) is the only whose capital has the hittite sun as its symbol!  -genetics: ->According to scientific studies more than %90 of anatolians are indigenous anatolians   -music: -> anatolian saz instrument is a direct continuation of the hittite stringed-musical instruments as proven by hittite pots bearing coloured depictions of the exact instrument being played.  http://ikizleratolyesi.com/seramik/d/833-4/inand__k+vazosu.jpg  -food ->the food eaten in Anatolia is a direct continuation of the hittite cuisinehttp://www.kitapturk.com/books/Kitap/40039/Hitit_Mutfagi.htm For reference please read the book titled ``Hittie Cuisine`` published by Alpha Publishing(08-2008) in Turkey.  -place names -> Adana is a major province of Turkey famous for its Kebabs and according to studies Hittite cuisine contained a strong element of skewered meat. The name of the city comes from Hittite Adaniye.  -person names -> Kybele was a prominent ancient anatolian goddess. Her name in Turkish is Sibel and this is a very prominent female name in the central regions of Turkey(corresponding to core hittite areas).   -folk games: -> A lot of games played by children of Anatolians are direct descendant of ancient anatolian games including the hittite ones. For reference research the ``Asik Kemigi(Asik Bone)`` game which is very popular in anatolia even today. Depictions of the exact game were found from late hittite period near eastern anatolia(turkey)  In conclusion Turks(as Anatolians are now referred to as/not to be confused with real Turkic Central Asians) are direct continuation of ancient anatolian civilzations and they currently pronounce their ancestors' civilizations names in Turkish.For this reason, the name of hittites should be provided in Turkish.   `
