Excellent tutorials! Thank you! Nevertheless, I believe it's better to use the term "phoneme" or "speech sounds" instead of "meaning" in regard to the sounds AS, INA, etc.

God bless you

Like if you are here still here in 2024 BC

Really enjoying your lectures.

Kind of looks like logic gates for circuits or physical decision trees 😂

It's great to see extinct scripts making a comeback in the 21st century.

Ummmm… I’ve got to be honest here…. I simply cannot believe that extraordinarily complex symbol could possibly just be an ‘it’ sound (and a few similar sounds). [Languages, especially ancient ones, simply aren’t this ridiculous. Linguists must have missed something here. Even if this complex symbol were an ‘it’ sound, there must be something else going on here (such as some kind of religious honorific, or an analog to a kanji).

If “ra” is duplicated one ends up with ha-am-mu-ra-ra-bi” which can also be interpreted as “hammur arabi “ which in turn can be translated as “Arabic dough” or “Arabic extraction.” That is the guy was an Arab.

How did we manage to learn so much about cuneiform and the language? And how accurate are the sounds? Maybe are approximations?

It’s meaning sallatum prayer

First Akkadian waiting from write to left is totally different in translation so I read it very clear

3:59 no, that'd be ludicrous. "She" comes from Old English hēo, from Proto-West Germanic *hiju, from Proto-Germanic *hijō f (“this, this one”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱe-, *ḱey- (“this, here”). It's only a coincidence that the Akkadian pronoun sounded similarly.

house - kash = winter in turk languages, kashta - house in modern Bulgarian too. Why Bitum and not Kashtum :-) joking

Excellent introduction, my only comment would be on your pronunciation, but pronunciation is always the hardest thing to nail down. Perhaps beside semantic nuances. Very good!

1:45 I've seen this referred to as the inchoative aspect, yours is the first video where I find the name "ingressive" for this. Is it only the Akkadian grammar that uses this term?

So, a virgin priestess

A small u..Š, like a v

how the hell did they figure out how something was pronounced?

Nice

Our history is subverted. But the pieces are assembling. We have the great deluge from which arose the likes of Sumer with their triangle based writing system We also have the more advanced Atlantean civilization destroyed more recently with their Circle based Runic system (you can see the relationship with cuneiform, draw a circle, divide into 8 wedges, those lines serve as the basis for all the characters (and of course the infamous broken sun wheel symbol found globally, the 'swastika'). ᛚ ᛩ etc But note that these modern fonts are wrong. The true runes had to fit within a circle, outer rune lines were therefor curved. (super impose these two symbols to see what i mean ⨁ and ⨂) This was used by the survivors such as Freya, Fin, Lydia. And of course the Canaanites -> Phoenicians -> Venetians line that rules today.

Murabbi

english: its this when this except for when its this then its this and this or this and... Akkadian: plug in the root words

Dear mr. Reese, Thanks for the effort. This lecture is too abstract. Maybe you could structure future videos to focus more on signs and combinations; Rather than this dry boring grammar.

Sumerian and Akkadian are AFRO-Asiatic. The Hebrew the Israeli Jews speak is AFRO-Asiatic, so Cuneiform is AFRO-Asiatic. Considering people of color created the first languages, writing systems and civilizations. It became necessary for people who lack melatonin to kill, rape, pillage, and steal this knowledge , including that of astronomy, math, medicine; AND TAKE IT FOR THEIR OWN. Then burn the books and libraries and ALL PROOF that Africa and dark skinned people had kingdoms predating recorded history. Even Kanji can call AFRO-Asiatic cuneiform “DADDY”. But it make sense since people traveled FROM Africa to Asia. The lighter your skin the more “Desendant” you become.

To say “learn Akkadian” is not incorrect but misleading for many reasons. One of which Sumerian would be more precise from an origin/chronological conception. Cuneiform by many scholars would be considered “more” Sumerian than Akkadian if based on time

So the reason why Novozymes could read and write in the Old times - was simply because they made it hard

haha..this sounds sh, t. and ts is kike in mine Serbian language, we have those souns in our alphabet, cirilic..

Why didn't they simplify things? there's way too much involved in writing a simple letter.

Thank you for all your wonderful lessons! Lots of love from Israel xo

How do we know how those letters/words were pronounced? It is more like a guess than a fact... but maybe I am wrong.

I don't understand how those ancient people could invent such a complicated language?!?

Do you think it would be possible one day to revive the Akkadian language? I feel like it is a shame that so many cool languages are extinct

Wow!! This is awesome! Great introduction!

Rees, where are you on your Akkadian journey? Professor or grad student?

Hi, which came first cuneiform or written Sumerian? From the context of the video I would take it as Sumerian but I have heard that cuneiform was the first written form of a language.

Hello bro how r , i am from iraq - Babylon , how i can contact with you ?

Ancient language nerd here, and seeing this to learn how to read cuneiform absolutely blows my mind, lets bring back these dead languages 🙏

Hi Reese, thanks for these interesting and well explained videos! I have a question: Let’s assume as a native of the Latin script, to master the Cyrillic script for 80% takes about 3 days, and to master Arabic for 80% takes about 30 days. Could you estimate, how long will it take to master the Akkadian script for 80%?

What purpose for did you publish this video. Looked at it. Sorry waste of time.

Dear Rees, I would have some questions regarding the pronunciation of the Akkadian language. I noticed that you have a rather American/English accent, especially in the a and r sounds. How was the pronunciation actually like? Can we reconstruct that?

I do not really understand what your intention with this "short" might be. For me it's useless.

Thank you so much!

You pronounced it worng. I dont know any semitic language with the /ae/ phoneme, that an english sound not akkadian

I love your videos! Please come back 😭😭😭😭

Strong verbs and weak verbs. 3 consonants verbs. It 's same as Arabic Grammer. Srq is the Arabic verb as well.

In amharic its isat

Can't wait for 5,000 years in the future. When a person on a streaming platform will use a constitution to teach English

They want us to learn cuneiform because of the reset.
