How many letters in the Sumerian alphabet?

The Sumerian writing system did not have an alphabet like modern languages; instead, it used a cuneiform script composed of logograms and syllabic signs. This system included hundreds of characters, with over 1,000 signs in total, though commonly used signs were fewer, typically around 300. Therefore, it is not accurate to quantify Sumerian writing with a specific number of letters as in an alphabet.

Did Sumerian writing develop from pictographs to cuneiform to an alphabet?

Sumerian writing used cuneiform (Latin: "wedge-shaped") characters that had developed from pictographs. This system never developed into an alphabet while it was being used to write Sumerian, or most of the other languages that adopted cuneiform writing (e.g., Akkadian and Old Persian). However, a true alphabet of cuneiform symbols was developed by the people of Ugarit to write their language, which was related to Hebrew. (Strictly speaking, Ugaritic cuneiform employed an abjad, which is a term for an alphabetic system that lacks vowels.)


What did the sumerians call their wedge shaped alphabet?

Archaeologists call the Sumerian writing system "cuneiform". We do not know what the Sumerians called it.
