Cuneiform

The Sumerians were the first to create the first writing system. The exact person, I have no idea.

Early in 1946, the Labour Government dispatched an all-party parliamentary delegation to India to meet Indian leaders and convince them of the British desire for an early settlement of the Indian constitutional issue. However, it was only in March 1946 that with the arrival of three Cabinet Ministers, Lord Pethick-Lawrence, Sir Stafford Cripps and Mr. A. V. Alexander, a crucial stage was reached in the negotiations between the British Government and the Indian political parties. The negotiations were conducted on behalf of the Congress by Abul Kalam Azad who was assisted by Nehru and Patel. Gandhi was, however, frequently consulted. The negotiations were bogged down on the basic question whether India was to remain united or to be split up to satisfy the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan. The Congress opposed to the partition of the country, but was prepared to go to the farthest limit in conceding cultural, economic and regional autonomy to various regions. A conference at Simla failed to resolve the Congress-League differences. The Cabinet Mission then offered a compromise plan in their statement of May 16,1946. They sketched a three-tier constitutional structure for India. On the top was to be a Union of India embracing British India as well as the Indian States, but dealing only with foreign affairs, defence and communications. The bottom tier was to consist of Provinces and States in which were to vest all residuary powers. The intermediate tier was to comprise "groups" to be formed by Provinces (if they chose) to deal with certain common subjects. The Muslim League avowed its acceptance of the Cabinet Mission Plan, but this acceptance was more apparent than real, The League and its leaders made no secret of their hope and design that the new constitution would be used to effect a partition of the country. "Let me tell you," Jinnah told the Muslim League Council on June 5, 1946 "that Muslim India will not rest content until we have established full, complete and sovereign Pakistan." It was this apparent contradiction in the League's stand, which made Gandhi and his colleagues in the Congress uneasy about the "grouping of provinces", which the League wanted to make compulsory and a stepping-stone to Pakistan. The controversy on this issue wrecked the Cabinet Mission Plan.

Leader Of The Cabinet Mission, April 1946

The three-tier constitution was a delicate mechanism with numerous checks and balances. Without the fullest cooperation between the major parties it was impossible to draft a new constitution, much less to work it. This cooperation was, however, lacking. The Cabinet Mission Plan was a compromise but it did not really bring the two parties together. The result was that questions presumed to have been settled by the Cabinet Mission were reopened soon after the return of its three members to England. Controversy rose to a fever pitch on two crucial issues, that of the "grouping" of provinces and the composition of the "interim government".

cuneiform is a ancient system of writing made up of triangular shapes used to create symbols, and it is historically significant because this was the first major step in the road to our present day writing, this documented life in Sumerian times (such as the book The Epic of Gilgamesh),and led to the Phonecians creating the first "letters".

Cuneiform was a system of writing used by the ancient Mesopotamians, primarily the Sumerians, while hieroglyphics were used by the ancient Egyptians. Cuneiform consists of wedge-shaped symbols impressed onto clay tablets, while hieroglyphics are pictorial characters that could represent sounds, concepts, or objects. Both scripts were used for recording important information like religious texts, laws, and historical events.

Learning cuneiform can be challenging because it is a complex writing system with hundreds of characters representing syllables, words, and sounds. Additionally, cuneiform is an ancient script that has evolved over time, with different variations used in different regions and time periods. Finally, there are relatively few resources available for learning cuneiform compared to more widely taught writing systems.

Scribes, priests, government officials, and scholars in ancient Mesopotamia would typically learn to read and write in cuneiform. It was a complex writing system consisting of wedge-shaped characters used primarily for administrative, literary, and religious purposes.

The Mayans developed a sophisticated writing system known as hieroglyphics, which included both logograms and phonetic elements. This system was used to record historical events, astronomical observations, and mythological stories.

Scribes probably wrote down every important detail about the king and priest's meetings and requirements to please the god protecting the city-state.

No, not every word has a separate symbol in the cuneiform alphabet. Many words are made up of multiple symbols that represent syllables or sounds rather than individual words. This system allowed for the representation of a wide range of words and concepts in ancient Mesopotamian languages.

The Sumerians are credited for the inventionof cuneiform... Hope this helps!

Hieroglyphics are more advanced even however, cuneiform may be spreaded out worldwide, hieroglyphics used papyrus which is like paper we right in today. Cuneiform is written in clay tablets. Also cuneiform was much earlier than the hieroglyphics. The last thing I know is that Hierohlyphics was read horizontally to and vertically and had more letters to use than Cuneiform...

it had picture symbols and ours today has no picture symbols. it different from cuneiform becuse cuneiform has more lettter symbols thhen picture

it was their form of writing. it allowed them to keep records,preserve stories write contracts record genealogies

they are the same because the writing looks the same but the difference is that they mean different then the other writes

The Rosetta Stone written in three languages including hierglyphics, demotic (cunieform) and Greek.

they both leaders and rule the world

It was the first form of writing and it helped the Sumerians record things down. It also helps us today becuase we can read the ablets and find out more about the culture and history of back then.

Cuneiform became more abstract and changed from being just simple pictographs to becoming wedge-shaped lines.

Cuneiform writing began in Mesopotamia

yes its true its in my 7th grade history book

Sargon could send instructions and govern over great distances.

Hieroglyphic writing was a system of pictorial symbols used by ancient Egyptians, whereas cuneiform was a system of wedge-shaped characters used by ancient Mesopotamians. Hieroglyphs were mostly used for religious and monumental inscriptions, while cuneiform was used for a wide range of purposes, including administrative records, literature, and legal texts. Additionally, hieroglyphs could represent both sound and meaning, while cuneiform mainly represented meaning.

The invention of cuneiform is that before cuneiform was invention their was not a written language and with out a written language people couldn't write letters to their friends or family members in prison or out of town so that's why cuneiform is so important to people.

Cuneiform script is the earliest known writing system in the world. Knowledge of cuneiform was lost until AD 1835, when Henry Rawlinson, an English army officer, found some inscriptions on a cliff at Behistun in Persia. Carved in the reign of King Darius of Persia they consisted of identical texts in three languages: Old Persian, Babylonian and Elamite. After translating the Persian, Rawlinson began to decipher the others. By 1851 he could read 200 Babylonian signs.

Before Rawlinson, scholars tried to figure out what the words on ancient clay tablets meant, but they had no guidelines. Georg Grotefund, a high school teacher in Germany, was sure the cuneiform wedges represented some type of alphabet. Using two different inscriptions from a gate at Persepolis Grotefund isolated what he believed were royal names. He was right, but he couldn't really do more without a kind of Rosetta Stone for cuneiform.

The Rosetta Stone (with its three inscriptions in hieroglyphs, demotic Egyptian and Greek which all say the same thing) was rediscovered in Rashid (Rosetta), Egypt in 1799 by Napoleon's army. Because a young French Egyptologist, Jean Francois Champollion, could work with two of the three languages, he was able to unlock the secret to the third language: Egyptian hieroglyphics.
