Information About

Urartian Language




Urartian was an Agglutinative Language , which belongs to neither the Semitic nor the Indo-European families but to the Hurro-Urartian family. It survives in many inscriptions found in the area of the Urartu kingdom, written in the Assyria n Cuneiform Script . The Urartians also possessed a native Hieroglyphic script, but in later Urartu this script was restricted to use in Accounting and Religion .

Based on linguistic similarities with Northeast Caucasian Languages , some scholars place it and the closely related Hurrian Language in the Alarodian family. There is also possibly a connection between Urartian and the modern Georgian Language .
