en-wikipedia-org-5332		Akkadian language - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	10584	1470	67	Akkadian (/əˈkeɪdiən/ akkadû, 𒀝𒅗𒁺𒌑 ak-ka-du-u2; logogram: 𒌵𒆠 URIKI)[1][2] is an extinct East Semitic language that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (Akkad, Assyria, Isin, Larsa and Babylonia) from the third millennium BC until its gradual replacement by Akkadian-influenced Old Aramaic among Mesopotamians by the 8th century BC. Mandaic and Assyrian are two (Northwest Semitic) Neo-Aramaic languages that retain some Akkadian vocabulary and grammatical features.[7] Additionally Akkadian is the only Semitic language to use the prepositions ina and ana (locative case, English in/on/with, and dative-locative case, for/to, respectively). The following table gives the consonant sounds distinguished in the Akkadian use of cuneiform, with the presumed pronunciation in IPA transcription according to Huehnergard and Woods,[2] which most closely corresponds to recent reconstructions of Proto-Semitic phonology. Formally, Akkadian has three numbers (singular, dual and plural) and three cases (nominative, accusative and genitive).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5332.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5332.txt
