Evolution of Akkadian Cuneiforms

Akkadian is an extinct East Semitic language that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia. The earliest attested Semitic language, it used the cuneiform writing system, which was originally used to write the unrelated Ancient Sumerian, a language isolate. The language was named after the city of Akkad, a major centre of Mesopotamian civilization during the Akkadian Empire (2334-2154 BC), but the language itself precedes the founding of Akkad by many centuries. Hundreds of thousands of texts and text fragments have been excavated to date, covering a vast textual tradition of mythological narrative, legal texts, scientific works, correspondence, political and military events, and many other examples. For centuries, Akkadian was the native language in Mesopotamian nations such as Assyria and Babylonia. Because of the might of various Mesopotamian empires Akkadian became the lingua franca of much of the Ancient Near East. By the Hellenistic period, the language was largely confined to scholars and priests working in temples in Assyria and Babylonia. The last known Akkadian cuneiform document dates from the 1st century AD.

Título:
Evolution of Akkadian Cuneiforms
Descripción:
Traducción automática: El acadio es una lengua semítica oriental extinta que se hablaba en la antigua Mesopotamia. Es la primera lengua semítica de la que se tiene constancia y utiliza el sistema de escritura cuneiforme, que se utilizó originalmente para escribir el sumerio antiguo, una lengua aislada, que no tiene relación con ella. El nombre de la lengua procede de la ciudad de Akkad, un importante centro de la civilización mesopotámica durante el Imperio acadio (2334-2154 a. C.), pero la lengua en sí es anterior a la fundación de Akkad en muchos siglos. Hasta la fecha se han excavado cientos de miles de textos y fragmentos de textos que abarcan una vasta tradición textual de narrativa mitológica, textos legales, obras científicas, correspondencia, acontecimientos políticos y militares y muchos otros ejemplos. Durante siglos, el acadio fue la lengua nativa de las naciones mesopotámicas, como Asiria y Babilonia. Debido al poder de varios imperios mesopotámicos, el acadio se convirtió en la lengua franca de gran parte del Antiguo Oriente Próximo. En el período helenístico, la lengua estaba limitada en gran medida a los eruditos y sacerdotes que trabajaban en los templos de Asiria y Babilonia. El último documento cuneiforme acadio conocido data del siglo I d. C.
