NMC1005Y: The Assyrian Language

The course begins with a survey of Assyrian grammar, emphasizing the differences between the Assyrian and Babylonian dialects of Akkadian and setting Assyrian within the historical development of Akkadian and more generally of Semitic languages. The main part consists of readings in the original cuneiform of texts from the Old Assyrian period (2000–1700 BC), the Middle Assyrian period (1400–1100 BC), and the Neo-Assyrian period (900–600 BC).

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
