Comments/contents: The Akkadian language was the main language of Mesopotamia from the middle of the 3rd millennium to the end of the 1st millennium BCE. It was noted with cuneiform signs like most of the languages of the Near East at that time. The course will focus on the Old Babylonian dialect, written during the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE, which corresponds to a normative state of Akkadian, and which most famous sample is the Code of Hammurabi (18th century BCE). Cuneiform writing, used to note this dialect, uses phonetic signs with a syllabic value, and a limited number of logograms.
