Babylonians spoke a wide variety of languages. The predominant language was Akkadian, which served as a lingua franca. There were also minorities that spoke:
- Aramaic
- Assyrian/Syriac
- Chaldean
- Hebrew
The language spoken them was the ancient Aramaic which alphabet was adapted from the Phoenician alphabet during the 8th century BC and was used to write the Aramaic language until about the year 600.
Answer
The official written language was Akkadian, a Semitic language derived from Amorite. Sumerian, which is completely unrelated linguistically, was used for liturgical purposes.
It's not entirely clear what language was spoken as an everyday tongue in the Babylonian Empire, although a Babylonian dialect of Akkadian and a pidgin of several regional languages are the most likely contenders.
Akkadian
The ancient Babylonian people spoke the semitic akkadian language.
