	Elamite language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elamite was an official language of the Persian Empire from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE.
		Elamite was an agglutinative language, and Elamite grammar features case agreement between nouns, called Suffixaufnahme.
		Elamite is mostly thought to have no close relation to the neighboring Semitic languages, or Indo-European languages, and although it adopted the syllabic script originally used for the Sumerian language, the two don't appear to be related either.

	Ancient Scripts: Elamite
		Only starting from the 13th century BCE onward did the Elamite language reappear in the archaeological record, but at this point in time the Elamite had borrowed and adapted the cuneiform script to write their language.
		At this time, Elamite, Old Persian, and Aramaic, were the "official" languages used in the Persian court and bureaucracy, while older Mesopotamian languages such as Babylonian and Sumerian continued to be used in literary, religious, and scientific circles.
		While important during the early history of the Persian empire, Elamite gradually faded from history after the 5th century BCE as Aramaic became increasingly important as the "international" language of the Persian empire.

	Historical linguistics
		Historical linguistics (or comparative linguistics) is primarily the study of languages which are recognizably related through similarities such as vocabulary, word formation, and syntax.
		The basis for the trees is the comparative method: languages presumed to be related are compared with one another, and based on what is generally known about how languages can change, linguists reconstruct the best hypothesis about the nature of the common ancestor language from which the attested languages are descended.
		Thus, the Germanic languages (which include German, Dutch, English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, and the extinct Gothic) can be compared to reconstruct Proto-Germanic, a language that was probably contemporaneous with Latin and for which no records are preserved.

		However, I have to reserve for another occasion the discussion on relationship between Elamites and Persians on the ground of the occurrences of both Elamite and Persian month-names in the Elamite tablets from Persepolis (the Persepolis Fortification Tablets).
		The Babylonian cultural influence seems to be strong, as the Akkadian was the official written language; nevertheless Babylonian calendar was a model to be adjusted to local needs and not an externally imposed method of reckoning time.
		The Elamite month-names still survive at Susa in royal and votive inscriptions, while in Anšan they were used together with the Babylonian logograms for administrative purpose.

	University of Chicago returns ancient Persian tablets loaned by Iran
		The tablets date from the middle of the reign of Darius I, 509 B.C. to 494 B.C. Cuneiform writing, the style used on the tablets, was developed to write Sumerian and Akkadian.
		People had been writing Elamite language texts in cuneiform since at least 2200 B.C. There are administrative texts in Elamite from about 1000 B.C. When speakers of Iranian language came to western Iran, they found people who were writing Elamite texts in cuneiform script.
		The unfamiliar appearance of the script makes it hard even for seasoned cuneiformists to learn well; the Elamite language is poorly understood in detail.
