Akkadian / Akkadû
Native to: Assyria and Babylon
Region: Mesopotamia
Era: c. 2500 - 600 BCE; academic or liturgical use until AD 100
Language family: Afro-Asiatic (Semitic)
Writing system: Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform
Official language in: initially Akkad (central Mesopotamia); lingua franca of the Middle East and Egypt in the late Bronze and early Iron Ages.
is an extinct East Semitic language that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (Akkad, Assyria, Isin, Larsa and Babylonia) from the third millennium BC until its gradual replacement by Akkadian-influenced Old Aramaic among Mesopotamians by the 8th century BC.
It is the earliest attested Semitic language. It used the cuneiform script, which was originally used to write the unrelated, and also extinct, Sumerian (which is a language isolate). Akkadian is named after the city of Akkad, a major centre of Mesopotamian civilization during the Akkadian Empire (c. 2334-2154 BC).
The mutual influence between Sumerian and Akkadian had led scholars to describe the languages as a Sprachbund.
Akkadian proper names were first attested in Sumerian texts from around the mid 3rd-millennium BC. From about the 25th or 24th century BC, texts fully written in Akkadian begin to appear. By the 10th century BC, two variant forms of the language were in use in Assyria and Babylonia, known as Assyrian and Babylonian respectively. The bulk of preserved material is from this later period, corresponding to the Near Eastern Iron Age. In total, hundreds of thousands of texts and text fragments have been excavated, covering a vast textual tradition of mythological narrative, legal texts, scientific works, correspondence, political and military events, and many other examples.
Akkadian (in its Assyrian and Babylonian varieties) was the native language of the Mesopotamian empires (Akkadian Empire, Old Assyrian Empire, Babylonia, Middle Assyrian Empire) throughout the later Bronze Age, and Akkadian became the lingua franca of much of the Ancient Near East by the time of the Bronze Age collapse c 1150 BC. Its decline began in the Iron Age, during the Neo-Assyrian Empire, by about the 8th century BC (Tiglath-Pileser III), in favour of Old Aramaic. By the Hellenistic period, the language was largely confined to scholars and priests working in temples in Assyria and Babylonia. The last known Akkadian cuneiform document dates from the 1st century AD. Mandaic and Assyrian are two (Northwest Semitic) Neo-Aramaic languages that retain some Akkadian vocabulary and grammatical features.
Akkadian is a fusional language with grammatical case; and like all Semitic languages, Akkadian uses the system of consonantal roots. The Kültepe texts, which were written in Old Assyrian, include Hittite loanwords and names, which constitute the oldest record of any Indo-European language.

People are wondering why Akkadian sounds similar to Arabic.
They are both Semitic languages.
The dialects in Iraq may also have Akkadian loanwords.
I speak Arabic and it's really amazing seeing so many similarities here and how much it has influenced Arabic as well!
Wow I can see the effect on the Iraqi Arabic dialect. The word "Annanu" that means here in Iraq we say "Hnana" and it is special to Iraqis also "Akannaka" we say "Hnaka"

What’s amazing that I am a native speaker of Aramaic from northern Iraqi and there is very much similarity in so many words in ancient Akkadian and Aramaic 🤔 although there is 5000 years between now and old Akkadian. Isn’t that amazing 🤩
I speak hebrew and there are so many similarities. It's so fascinating to feel this kind of connection to people that lived more than 4000 years ago. We all connected after all
Finally an Iraqi Mesopotamian language

akkadian is not arab
Fun fact: there is a project which is going to revive akkadian language
Fascinating. I'd love to read about it. Any links/sources?
@Linguapedia - 언어와 언어학 Thanks!
Really? That would be incredible.
They should try to revive it in Iraq.
Omg yes I hope it succeeds this language is beautiful and I would kinda want to learn it!
Perfect pronunciation overall:
- Very good phonemic vowel length
- Excellent pharyngeal fricatives
- Perfect pronounced as /ʁ/ (most would pronounce it as a Hebrew or Arabic alveolar trill)
- Wonderful uvular
- Perfect (most would pronounce it as the way "š" is pronounced in Czech or Slovak, /∫/)
- Perfect emphatic consonants and
- Fantastic phonemic geminated consonants.
(Modern) Hebrew has an /ʁ/ sound like akkadian, so it's easy to pronounce for a native Hebrew speaker.
I learned arabic in the school in Indonesia..and i found similar words to Arabic
Cause both are semitic and afro asiatic
I am currently learning Biblical Hebrew and it is really cool to see similarities here.
Awesome, I recommend you the youtube channel "Aleph with Beth"
some words here are same like hebrew
כל הכבוד! בהצלחה לך.
Assyrian today language same too
It’s the first Semitic
So that’s why its looks like Hebrew and Arabic
It is interesting that there are some Japanese dialects that have similar pronunciations and meanings to Akkad's words.
Akkad: Mati, matim = city, nation land. Alaku = walk.
Japan: Machi (mati) = town. Aruku = walk.
When the Akkadian language is revived, I will learn it
Your pronunciation was better then most Iraqi interpretations of it. You have the gutteral R down. You don’t add uneeded ayins and your ejective consanants were on point. Felt like I stepped back 2,000 years ! A+! Very well done.
I understand 25 percent of all the words as a Hebrew speaker haha
OMG my native language is Tigre which is an Ethio Semitic language and there is a lot of similarities in the words like we say to anna or annatu for I am, narrow or thin is qatan, wife is issitu, dog is kalb, if we want to ask people do you want to drink we say te' satu. Also, moon is warax and the stars are kawkab, Fire is isat in addition, all the numbers and body parts are similar. This is an amazing find Thank you ILOVELANGUAGES!
i always hearing my parents say "nes" to anybody escape and go far away & i see "nesu" in Akkadian meaning "Far" hhhhhh, thousands years & we still use Akkadian words, by the way i'm an Arab From Nejd Region
Im a Western Aramaic speaker and I found many similarities.

I think eastern Aramaic would be even more similar because it has a p sound unlike western Aramaic for example nfoho would be npaxa in eastern Aramaic which is even more similar to napaxu)and eastern Aramaic also doesn’t have the throat sound in the h like arabic(7) so it would be x like akkadian) I recognized that if you tell something to someone in Aramaic the words would be more similar in Akkadian like blow! It would be nfah and it’s more similar to napaxu.
In modern Iraqi dialect we say so many of those words without the (u) in the end except for matu (wich means they died ).
I am from Ethiopia the land of Cush
and there is a lot of Akkadian words in this video which are still used in our languages
As an Arab, I love that video. Akkadian is the great grandparent of the modern day Arabic and other Semitic languages. I hope more videos would come.
@@michaelpardo8403 Akkadian is by far the earliest attested Semitic language, but it seems to have went through some considerable changes very early on, perhaps by influence from Sumerian. The earliest inscriptions in Akkadian are from circa 2400 BCE, so that's only about 500-600 years after the accepted date when Proto-Semitic started to diverge. Cannanite only appears in writing around 1000 BCE, Hebrew and Aramaic from around 800 BCE and Arabic only around 100 CE in the form of the Nabatean variant. Diffusion of the West Semitic branch into the Levant is attributed to the Amuru invasion of circa 2300-2200 BCE, around the same time of the founding and expansion of the Akkadian Empire all the way to the Persian Gulf, while the ancestors of the Arabic language likely formed in the Syrian Desert and later migrated soutward to the Arabian Peninsula. Also, there are now 4 accepted groupings of Semitic: East Semitic (Akkadian, Eblaite, Assyrian, Babylonian), West Semitic (Aramaic, Amorite, Ugaritic, Cannanite, Hebrew, Carthaginian, Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite), Central Semitic (Kedarite, Nabatean, Iturean, Arabic) and South Semitic (Himyaric, Sabaean, Ge'ez, Tigrinya, Tigre, Amharic)
Greetings from Iraq 🇮🇶.. our old language sounds very unique.. thanks for making this video
Interesting: Ummu is mother in Akkadian and Umi is mother in Arabic. Also, I can tell hiw the numbers sound much like Arabic numbers.
Fascinating, one of the most interesting civilizations in history and it's nice to hear their language spoken.
I remember once watching a video of a Hebrew recitation of the opening surah (i.e. chapter) of the Noble Quran, translated from the original, canonical scriptural Arabic. Even for an Arabic speaker who has never studied Hebrew, easily 50%-60% or more of the Hebrew words are directly intelligible to the Arabic speaker.
Had the translated recitation been in Aramaic or ancient Canaanite, the proportion would have been even higher. In fact, I remember once hearing a linguistics professor state that no less than 91% of ancient Canaanite words exist with the exact same word roots and meanings in the Arabic language and are documented in all the classic Arabic lexicons.
Furthermore, there are at least 6,000 words from ancient Akaddian that exist in the Arabic lexicons, and at least several thousand of these are in regular use, rendering Arabic as the closest living relative of ancient Akaddian.
To this day, the Arabic language and its encyclopedic lexicons remain the best tool available to linguists wishing to study and decipher the ancient languages of the Fertile Crescent (this is already common practice among scholars of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Canaanite, and is starting to gain currency with scholars of Akkadian).
The truly marvelous quality of Arabic is that not only is it one of the most ancient languages of the Middle East, it also reached a remarkable level of sophistication very early on, and then maintained the most conservative evolution of all the languages of the region-the Arab peoples preserved it with a fidelity that no other related language ever attained.
What Western scholarship has termed “Semitic languages” should more properly be called the “Arabic group of languages”, especially since “Semitic” is a modern neologism that is not attested in any of the languages that it seeks to describe, whereas the term “Arabic” is perhaps the only demonym and glottonym attested in all of them.
A lot less throaty and harsh compared to other semitic languages.
That's because there's no one in the world continue to speaks it and maintain the pronunciation until modern era where recording is possible. They only read it from ancient texts. So there are possible oversimplification to the pronunciation.
Lots of influence from Sumerian I would imagine. Semitic languages tend to lose their "throaty" sounds once they're in contact with non-Semitic languages (Modern Hebrew, Maltese)
I heard them! The emphatic qof , the resh & khet
@@andre.win200 We definitely have a great idea how it sounded, the speaker here sounds more like they're using a later Assyrian dialect, for example. :)
@@gerald4013 in many Semitic (and some non-semitic) languages š is pronounced [ ʃ ] or [sʰ]. I don't know if it's the case here but i hear some kind of aspiration
it's absolutely amazing how almost each of these common vocabulary words has a fairly obvious, similar-sounding cognate in Modern Hebrew
👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you
All love from Iraq ❤️
I didn't expect it was going to have so many similarities to Arabic. I wonder though whether the letter "r" was really pronounced as a French or German "r" given that this sound already exists in many Semitic languages, such as غ in Arabic, for example
Great video!
Excellent work! You have done your recent presentations with full vocabulary! Helps a lot!
waiting for the phoenician language! 💕
Me too! As an Israeli, I'm excited to hear one of the languages my people spoke thousands of years ago. Phoenician and Hebrew are essentially two dialects of the same language, the Canaanite language.
yara ayb: Hear, hear! Bring on the language of Hannibal!
Would totally love to hear the language of Lebanese ancestors 😍
I watch this over and over again as a hobby language student. My friend who is northern Iraqi recommended this due to my interest in Sumarian. Thanks for post

*I know some arabic
Of course, it’s a Semitic language, they all share the same root vocabulary, Akkadian, Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew, ..etc
"Ishten-Wahid"
Yeah sure sounds super similar
@@MapsCharts
My mistake, sorry 😅🤦♂️
Assyriologists use Arabic and Persian and Hebrew pronunciation to reconstruct this language, but phonetics are speculative we really don't know how these ancient languages sounded 3000 years ago
@@ManuelPerez-yt1ni they use Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic to be more specific. Persian is not a Semitic language, so it doesn’t share a lot of similarities in the root vocab... Aramaic; which is still alive and spokenin its Syriac form would be the closest to Akkadian. The eastern dialect of Syriac actually has a lot of Akkadian loan words in it.
I learned Modern Standard Arabic a while ago and it’s fun to hear the similarities. Feels like a little ‘ping!’ in my brain
lot of the words mentioned are still used in Eritrean languages tigrayet and tigrinna
Excellent work!
I hope a video on my beloved Avestan and Old Persian will appear in the future!
I'm not shocked that most of the words have the same meaning/similar pronunciation in Arabic!
The Akkadian language is very similar to the Iraqi dialect
I wish that the Akkadian language will be revived in Iraq
I remember first time I discovered your old channel, I was looking for some Sumerian lessons. Hope you reupload that one! And hope your channel grow bigger this time!
Same here I really hope it comes back
My knowledge of Hebrew is extremely limited at best, but, it and Akkadian being Semitic languages, it's fascinating to hear just how similar they are.
I'm seeing alot of Akkadian words that are similar to words in modern Assyrian Aramaic that I speak on a daily bases we my family and people in the Assyrian community for ex., such as I anaku we say ana, you attunu or attina we say att or attin, Kalbu dog we say Kalba, gildu skin we say gilda etc...
This was incredibly cool!
I am a brazilian girl, from italian family, and I saw a similarity with romantic languages, "red" is "russuh" in akkadian and "roso" is in italian and "rojo" in spanish. And this radical sounds like "roxo (rosho)" is "purple" or "violet" in portuguese. I have studied a little of arabic language and realized some similarities too.
Me gusta los sonidos de los idiomas antiguos :D ... ILoveLanguages!, mi canal preferido!!!
Escucha el Quechwa Boliviano, soy solo yo o suenan parecido ¿?
Sebastian Calvo Camps En verdad tienen ciertos parecidos, pero se distinguen rápidamente porque el Quechua Boliviano suena como con muchas vocales cortas, además de que tiene algunos sonidos como la Ñ, a diferencia del Arcadio, que suena con vocales largas y es mas “árabe” por algunos sonidos que se producen en la garganta
:D Thank you so much for this! I just got my first book on learning Akkadian and it also includes the cuneiform. Since it is a book, it provides the "how to pronounce" but I never know if I'm saying certain words correctly. This is awesome!
I can swear that I noticed a few words that sound somewhat similar and even have the same meaning as Indo-European words, specifically ones from the Latin family.
As a native Egyptian Arabic speaker
I understand the numbers without any problems and some words.
I love Semitic languages 🖤✨
what a beautiful language.
Please, post back Sumerian language and the Enuma Elish.
T S sound is actually is Sh. Like Khamish..(5)..Reshu ( Head). Shinnu ( Tooth)..Lishanu ( Tongue)….. as an Assyrian I speak this language daily and call it Assyrian and know first hands the proper pronunciation of few of these words. God/ Gods bless you for your hard work.
Wait isn't Akkadian dead.
Maybe you are talking about Assyrian Neo-Aramaic. Akkadian started to dead out after the Aramean invasion of Babylonia. Aramaic became the Lingua Franca many people in Near East execpt Egypt, though they had their own version Aramaic known as Egyptian Aramaic which didn't became dominant, started to switch to Aramaic.
Iltam zumra rashupti ilatim
As a Hebrew speaker (native) and with familiarity with Aramaic and Arabic it's mind blowing how similar those languages are. I think I would understand Hamorabi lol
כן, גם אני!
probably! Doubtful he'd understand you if your hebrew pronounciation is too Ashkenazi though.
8 of the numbers literally sound the same as Arabic numbers, it's fascinating how much similarities between Akkadian and Arabic
this is so similar to Arabic that I am questioning the pronunciation here
Amazing , Many of the words here exist in hebrew as synonyms or in a different pronunciation.
The most beautiful one in the whole world!
It sounds like our dialect of arabic
Love ❤❤❤🥰
thank you for the tutorial, I will need this for next week when i tell one my servants to venture out to the capital to purchase some of the finest copper ingots available for my homestead. I hope that I will be able get a good deal from this local merchant I had been in contact with recently.
Please revive this beautiful language
You must live making these vids! Keep it up!!! 👍🏼
It’s very hard work so I hope they take a break from time to time too.
As someone who speaks aramean and arabic I could recogniz maany similarities, espescially in aramaic there were some words than didn't match with arabic at all, but with aramaic. Very interesting to see the akkadian influence in todays aramaic
Your work is amazing though ...very grateful for your hard work
Heyy, Andy! :)
Is there a Kazakh language video in your channel? I want that too! Thanks!
ruclips.net/video/A-sArX5v-ho/видео.html
Here it is
I spent a full minute just to find it for you
The Akkadian civilization is one of the greatest civilizations in human history. A civilization, no matter how much you talk about it, and if you want to describe it, you need a long series of descriptions. The Akkadians are the Babylonians and the Assyrians.
One of my favs!
Surprised of the amount of similarities to Hebrew-not to mention how they as well had a back of lower tongue "r" spoken in modern Hebrew today.
This sounds so much like geez. Sounds like tigrinia and amharic wow I can actually understand many words
impressive
Please revive this language in Iraq...
The land of stargate.....
It is very similar to Arabic ,but I would love to learn it.
Waiting for the Urartian language hopefully ♥️
👍 good video
Omg, so many similarities with Arabic
Akalu almost like in Arabic 😂
My Mind is blown . 🤔It has alot of the same Words as in Geez of Ethiopia: meaning now Tigrinya and Tigr‘e
It would be great if you read the first declaration of human rights in akkadian from cyrus the great’s cylinder
İs it me or does this literally sound like a funny arabic/hebrew accent? Especially the Iraqi arabic dialect it's so closeee
It's sound like arabic, maybe because it's a semitic langage
It's a Semitic language
So it's not very different from the modern arabic and Aramaic
Note : the numbers in akkadian are the same in arabic
@ንጉሠ ነገሥት
You are a south semitic language
We have in our Mesopotamian arabic a roots from akkadian and Aramaic
@Michael Lozano do you speak arabic?

Is this the language spoken in the Babylon part of Marvel's Eternals? Or is it Babylonian?
I wonder what language the tribes they found that never had contact with other people in the Amazon.
The Arabian language has many of its words rooted in the sumerian
Could you make a video about Babylonian language
damn that's like 50% arabic
I swear the words for the numbers 6 and 7 are similar in almost all languages in the world. Must be a very ancient common ancestor for these words
They're not _that_ similar between Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Semitic, really. PIE 6 _*swéḱs_ vs. PS _*šidṯ-,_ and PIE 7 _*septḿ̥_ vs. PS _*šabʕ-_ . They just happen to both start with s or š.
Similar to Arabic language.
Atta* in iraq we still use this word to this day
Jesus it look very like my language Amharic i almost found many of the word have same sound OMG
Akkadian is a Semitic language like Amharic that's why
wooooow i understood many words that is still spoken till this day.😨😨😨🤯🤯😳😳😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😯🤔this is weird.
as iraqi It's so much understood to me than the Arabic dialect of Morocco and Algeria
As a morrocan arabic speaker i find akkadian much easier to understand than iraki dialect lol ::)) just kidding
as an algerian arabic it's much easier to me that the iraki dialect
If akkadian/Babylonian survived and evolved into native iraqian language, I would be happy
The difference between Iraqi dialect and Babylonian language is the difference between old English and modern English www.arabamerica.com/the-origin-of-the-phoenicians/
I would remember more from this channel than all of the classes I have in school combined
Wow! What careful work on pronunciation!😀
This very similar to Geez the semitic Ethiopian language, I speak Arabic as well but I could see it is more similar to Geez than Arabic, it make me think that Yemeni languages that Geez part of is older than modern Arabic
As a hebrew speaker, I noticed many words were similar between the two languages.
Us Iraqi Arabic speaker i can understand it 50%
I gonna learn this language after spanish
When will you do a video about sumerian language?
When are you gonna reupload bible-belt English?
Very good
The person reading seems to have a Modern Israeli Hebrew accent...
