<h4>Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform</h4>
<p>
Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform is a historical Middle Eastern logo-syllabary,
written left-to-right. Was used at least since 3200 BCE in todays Iraq for
the now-exinct Sumerian language. Was later used in todays Iran, Turkey,
Syria, and Egypt, for languages like Akkadian, Elamite, Hittite, Luwian and
Urartian. Widely believed to be the first writing system in the world.
Combined logographic, consonantal alphabetic and syllabic signs. Since c. 900
BCE gradually replaced by the Aramaic script. Read more on
