There is not just one ancient language in the Middle East. There are numerous such languages. Probably the most important is Akkadian, which served as a lingua franca in Mesopotamia for nearly 2000 years. Aramaic served as a lingua franca in the Levant for almost 800 years after the Assyrian conquest of the Kingdom of Israel to the assimilation of much of the Levantine population to Roman culture and language.
