ILoveLanguages! | SEMITIC: PHOENICIAN & AKKADIAN @ilovelanguages0124 | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Phoenician, an extinct Canaanite Semitic language, was originally spoken around Tyre and Sidon. Due to extensive trade and commercial dominance, Phoenician became a lingua franca of the maritime Mediterranean during the Iron Age. The Phoenician alphabet spread to Greece and became the foundation of all modern European scripts. Phoenician is similar to Biblical Hebrew and other Canaanite languages, and in its early stages, it was mutually intelligible with them.
Akkadian is an extinct East Semitic language once spoken in ancient Mesopotamia, including regions like Akkad, Assyria, and Babylonia. It was used from the third millennium BC until the 8th century BC when Old Aramaic gradually replaced it. Named after the city of Akkad, Akkadian is the earliest documented Semitic language and was written using the cuneiform script, which was initially for Sumerian but later adapted for other regional languages. The close contact and prestige of Sumerian significantly influenced Akkadian's phonology, vocabulary, and syntax, leading scholars to describe their relationship as a Sprachbund.
