Babylonian Language

The Babylonian language, primarily written in Akkadian, was a Semitic language spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 2000-1000 BCE. It used cuneiform script, inscribed on clay tablets, to record everything from laws and treaties to literature and science. As the language of the powerful Babylonian civilization, it played a key role in administration and cultural development. Modern understanding of Babylonian language helps scholars interpret ancient texts, revealing insights into early urban societies, their beliefs, and advancements.
