You have indeed listed the principal languages of the Ancient World. Of course, if you wanted to list all of them, the list is almost endless. For example, Coptic (Egypt & Libya), Gallic (France, Belgium & Switzerland), Iberian (Spain, France, British Isles?), Etruscan (Italy), Illyrian & the original Macedonian (Yugoslavia), Thracian (Bulgaria), Dacian (Romania), (Minoan & Mycenaean (Greece), Bithynian, Lydian, Lycian, Mysian, Pisidian, Isaurian, Cappadocian, Assyrian (Turkey)., Gothic (Sweden & Poland), Scythian & Sarmatian (Iranian languages of Russia) etc. and it still doesn't stop even here.
Many ancient languages in the world were unwritten or poorly recorded so we don't know much about them. Certainly, the people who built the great Mohenjo Daro civilization of the Indus River Valley spoke an important ancient language of some kind (probably a Dravidian one) but we don't know what it was like.
