From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Lycaonia
     an inland province of Asia Minor, on the west of Cappadocia and
     the south of Galatia. It was a Roman province, and its chief
     towns were Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. The "speech of Lycaonia"
     (Acts 14:11) was probably the ancient Assyrian language, or
     perhaps, as others think, a corrupt Greek intermingled with


     Syriac words. Paul preached in this region, and revisited it
     (Acts 16:1-6; 18:23; 19:1).
