AKKAD 1410
Akkadian I

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course introduces students to the study of Akkadian, the language spoken and written in Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq and Syria) for about 2,500 years. It was the language used by the empires of Babylonia and Assyria, the language of the earliest international diplomacy and treaties, and of epic poems such as the Epic of Gilgamesh. Students will become familiar with the discovery, script and grammar of Akkadian as represented mainly in the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600 BCE). Akkadian I covers roughly half of Huehnergard's standard grammar textbook, and is a prerequisite for Akkadian Language II.
