Wonder if Carian, if deciphered, will offer clues to the so-far mysterious Minoan language and its Linear A script.

It seems likely that the Carians were the Minoans (that was Herodotus' call, or rather one of them), among other things, and doesn't seem unlikely that Linear A probably records Carian. Carian inscriptions are rare, and generally very short.
