Sumerian Grammar

Sumerian grammar is the structure and rules governing the Sumerian language, one of the oldest known languages. It is agglutinative, meaning that words often combine prefixes, suffixes, and roots to convey complex meanings. Sumerian uses a subject-object-verb (SOV) sentence structure. Nouns have cases indicating their role in a sentence, while verbs are marked for tense, mood, and aspect. There are no articles (like "the" or "a"), and the language features a rich system of determiners and pronouns. Overall, Sumerian grammar reflects a sophisticated approach to expressing relationships between ideas and actions.
