This language existed before Aramaic, actually Aramaic replaced this language. Now brought back to live after having died more than 2,000 years ago and recorded online. I wonder why?? Well, they say it's for students who study ancient languages and never have the chance to actually hear it. However, what if we're being subjected to this ancient language for some other reason? ;)
Also note the texts of old Babylonian tablets that were chosen to be recorded!!!
I have changed the title again of this thread - this has started numerous discussions! I would like your input - what is your opinion on this ?
[link to news.yahoo.com]
"The language of the Epic of Gilgamesh and King Hammurabi has found a new life online after being dead for some 2,000 years.
Academics from across the world have recorded audio of Babylonian epics, poems, and even a magic spell to the Internet in an effort to help scholars and laymen understand what the language of the ancient Near East sounded like.
The answer? Cambridge University's Martin Worthington told The Associated Press that it's "a bit like a mixture of Arabic and Italian."
.....
The Babylonian language, written on clay tablets in cuneiform script, dominated the Near East for centuries before it was gradually displaced by Aramaic. After a long decline, it disappeared from use altogether sometime in the first century A.D. — and was only deciphered nearly two millennia later by 19th-century European academics."
I find this interesting...will go find the link where you can listen to it.
