The Iron Age Urartian state was the successor of the Late Bronze Age [[Hurrian]] state of [[Mitanni]], and the Urartian language spoken by the ruling class is the successor of the Hurrian language (see [[Hurro-Urartian]]).<ref name="Ancient Hurrians">Diakonov Igor M., Starostin S.A.

Kitzinger, München, 1986; [http://history-world.org/hurrians.htm Ancient Hurrians]</ref><ref>Piotrovsky. ''Ancient Civilization of Urartu'' p. ?.</ref>
The Urartian state was in turn succeeded in the area in the 6th century BC by the [[Indo-European]] speaking [[Orontid Dynasty|Orontid Armenian kingdom]].<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9074433/Urartu Urartu on Britannica]</ref> The presence of a [[Proto-Armenian]] population in the area already during Urartian rule is subject to speculation:
It is generally assumed that Proto-Armenian speakers entered [[Anatolia]] from around 1200 BC, ultimately deriving from a [[Paleo-Balkan languages|Paleo-Balkans]] context, and over the following centuries spread east to the [[Armenian Highland]].<ref name="SAE"/><ref name="Dyakonov et al.">Dyakonov, I.M., V.D.

Ivanov]] in 1984 places the [[Proto-Indo-Europeans|Proto-Indo-European]] homeland in the [[Armenian Highland]], see [[Armenian hypothesis]], which would entail the presence of [[Proto-Armenian]]s in the area during the entire lifetime of the Urartian state.<ref name="See Gamkrelidze 1995">See Gamkrelidze, Thomas and Vyacheslav Ivanov ''Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans: A Reconstruction and Historical Analysis of a Proto-language and a Proto-culture''.

After the disappearance of Urartu as a political entity at the hands of [[Assyria]], the Armenians eventually came to dominate the highlands after the fall of the [[Neo Assyrian Empire]], absorbing portions of the previous Urartian culture in the process.<ref>[http://www.starspring.com/ascender/urartu/urartu.html Star Spring Urartu]</ref> The Armenians became, thus, the direct successors of the kingdom of Urartu and inherited their domain.
