Akkadian

Akkadian is an East-Semitic language. Actually, this is a collective term for Babylonian (the language of the Babylonians) and Assyrian (the language of the Assyrians). Babylonian and Assyrian were written in cuneiform, borrowed from the Sumerians. Cuneiform underwent a development as a result of this.
