Erlang is evidently influenced by Prolog:

No more than other functional languages, I believe. The
syntax, however, is intentionally very similar. Whether
it actually drew the attention of Prologers to Erlang is
another matter.


Erlang was infinitely more influenced by Prolog than other
functional languages were.
Joe Armstrong (Erlang's father) has an Erlang Tutorial on the net.
It says:

1986 - Erlang emerges as dialect of Prolog. Implementation is a Prolog interpretor - 1
