Diauehi (Georgian დიაოხი, Urartian Diauehi, Greek Taochoi, Armenian Tayk, possibly Assyrian Daiaeni) was a tribal union located in northeastern Anatolia, that was recorded in Assyrian and Urartian sources during the Iron Age.[15] It is usually (though not always) identified with the earlier Daiaeni (Dayaeni),[16] attested in the Yonjalu inscription of the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser I's third year (1118 BC) and in later records by Shalmaneser III (845 BC). While it is unknown what language(s) they spoke,[17]: 205 they may have been speakers of a Kartvelian,[18][19][20][21][15][22][23][24][25] Armenian,[26][27][28] or Hurrian language.[29][30][31][32][33]
