language of ancient Sumer

AI overview

Sumerian was the language spoken by the ancient people of Sumer in what is now southern Iraq, and it is one of the earliest known written languages in human history. It matters because the Sumerians developed one of the world's first writing systems to record their language, which provides crucial evidence about early civilization, including how people organized societies, conducted trade, and documented their daily lives thousands of years ago.
