Akkadian is not a writing system but rather a language. It is the earliest attested member of the Semitic language family, which includes Hebrew and Arabic. Akkadian was spoken in the same general area of Mesopotamia as Sumerian (modern-day Iraq) and was written using the same cuneiform writing system.
