>After 1180 BC, during the Late Bronze Age collapse, the Hittite empire disintegrated into several independent Syro-Hittite states, subsequent to losing much territory to the Middle Assyrian Empire and being finally overrun by the Phrygians, another Indo-European people who are believed to have migrated from the Balkans. The Phrygian expansion into southeast Anatolia was eventually halted by the Assyrians, who controlled that region

>>3361859
That happened much later than 1180 bc, the Neo Hittite kingdoms appeared around 900 bc

And while they're called "Neo Hittite" they exclusively spoke Luwian and sometimes Aramaic
