Luhuti, Lukhuti or '''Lu'ash''', was a Neo-Hittite region during the early 1st millennium BC, located in northern Syria, in an area that used to be called Nuhašše.
==Political situation and capital== Luhuti was a region of uncertain political status, known primarily from Assyrian inscriptions, and the stele of king Zakkur of Hamath. Luhuti is never attested as a kingdom of its own or as having a single central authority, although it did constitute an independent interconnected region. The Assyrian inscriptions that describe Luhuti as a country with many cities and troops.
