Sumerian is the language of ancient Sumer, which was spoken in southern Mesopotamia from at least the 4th millennium BC. During
the 3rd millennium BC, a very intimate cultural symbiosis developed between the Sumerians and the Akkadians, which included
widespread bilingualism. The influence of Sumerian on Akkadian (and vice versa) is evident in all areas, from lexical borrowing
on a massive scale, to syntactic, morphological, and phonological convergence. This has prompted scholars to refer to Sumerian
and Akkadian in the third millennium as a Sprachbund (area of linguistic convergence). Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian
as a spoken language around 2000 BC (the exact dating being a matter of debate), but Sumerian continued to be used as a sacred,
ceremonial, literary and scientific language in Mesopotamia until the 1st century AD. Then, it was forgotten until the 19th
century, when Assyriologists began deciphering the cuneiform inscriptions and excavated tablets left by these speakers. Sumerian
is a language isolate. However some scholars are of the view that Sumerian language is related to the Austric group of languages. |
