What was effect on sumerians on the invention of writing?
The Sumerians invented writing around 3500 B.C.; but it would be almost 1,000 years before writing was used for all the other less practical reasons. Historians think that before writing was invented, business transactions were recorded with the exchange of clay tokens that represented the items being traded in Sumeria. The earliest forms of Sumerian writing were pictographs. At this stage the pictographs were "drawn" rather than "written". The resultant appearance of the Sumerian signs, composed of short angular lines, is what gave cuneiform writing its name, from the Latin cunei, meaning "wedge". Sumerian was a very difficult language to read and write, even for the scribes. There were many complicated signs that had to be memorized, and all of the signs had multiple meanings and pronunciations. There were very few clarifying rules of grammar, and there wasn't any capitalization, punctuation, or spaces between the words; so it was difficult to tell where one word ended and another began. A sentence was just one long string of symbols.
