Akkadian language (sh)




or Assyro-Babylonian language

Semitic language spoken in Mesopotamia in the 3rd-1st millennia BC.

It is known from a great many inscriptions, seals, and clay tablets in cuneiform Writing. Akkadian supplanted Sumerian as the major spoken language of southern Mesopotamia by 2000 BC and about this time split into an Assyrian dialect spoken in the northeast and a Babylonian dialect spoken in the south. Akkadian died out as a vernacular in the first half of the 1st millennium BC, being effectively replaced by Aramaic in Mesopotamia, though it continued to be written until about the 1st century AD.
