r/Cuneiform

Hello! I’ve started learning Akkadian as a hobby, and I’m having trouble finding the basic materials. I have a physical copy of the book ”Introduction to Akkadian” by Richard Caplice (it’s the only one I could find in my native language - brazilian portuguese), and I’m putting together the bibliography he recommends.

Since this is a new hobby, I don’t plan on spending, so I’m looking for PDFs, at least until I figure out if I’ll stick with it.

Is there a Facebook group or something similar that has books on this topic?

I’m mainly looking for Wolfram von Soden’s “Grundriss der akkadischen Grammatik”.

I could not find the data represented on a map so I whipped one up

I recently made a post on here about a Sumerian clay nail that I'm going to purchase, and some people gave me a hard time and the moderator removed my post. Why??

Hello, everyone! I'm a big fan of ancient mesopotamia and cooking, want to make some art for my kitchen featuring the Sumerian proverb "There is no baked cake in the middle of the dough".

I can't read or write cuneiform myself, but I'd love the authentic unicode script (or a "tablet-style" image) for this proverb to use in a design/print. From what I've seen, it might be SP 1.166 Oxford's ETCSL or similar. Any chance someone could transliterate it accurately and provide the glyphs? Sumerian preferred if possible!

Happy to credit and share the final art. Thanks so much, this community is awesome :^)
