What did the written language in sumer look like?
The Sumer alphabet was cuneiform, which means wedge-shaped (from Latin Cuneus=wedge + forma=shape). Wedge-shaped marks were etched on clay tablets with a reed stylus. This Sumer writing was also adopted to write other languages in Mesopotamia and Iran: Akkadian, Eblaite, Elamite, Hittite, Luwian, Hattic, Hurrian, and Urartian. The Old Persian alphabet was based on the cuneiform alphabet. The Cuneiform alphabet was replaced by the Phoenician alphabet which was popular because it was phonetic. Cuneiform was pictographic. It used pictograms, icons (also called ideograms) which conveyed their meaning through their pictorial resemblance to a physical object. The Phonetic alphabet of the Phoenicians had the advantage that its symbols represented phonemes, the basic sounds of a spoken language. The Greeks adopted and adapted the Phoenician alphabet. The Latins, in their turn, adopted and adapted the western variant of the Greek alphabet. Western European languages adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet.
