Sumerian Language & Writing |
 | | The Sumerian language of ancient Sumer was spoken in Southern Mesopotamia from at least the 4th millennium BC. |
| | Sumerian, the oldest known written language in human history, was spoken in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq and peripheral regions) throughout the third millennium BC and survived as an esoteric written language until the death of the cuneiform tradition around the time of Christ. |
| | Sumerian is an agglutinative language, in which many small affixes may be attached to a word, gradually building up refinements in meaning and specificity to the typically abstract lexical root. |
