Definition
Relating to ancient Akkad and its empire (c. 2334-2154 BCE), the first multi-ethnic empire in history, or to the Semitic language that became the diplomatic tongue of the ancient Near East.
Etymology
From 'Akkad,' the capital city founded by Sargon the Great, possibly meaning 'highland' in Sumerian. The term describes both the empire and the language that spread throughout Mesopotamia and became the region's lingua franca.
Kelly Says
Akkadian was the ancient world's English - for over 1,000 years, everyone from Egypt to Iran wrote diplomatic letters in this language! Sargon of Akkad created history's first multi-ethnic empire around 2334 BCE, and their language outlasted their empire by millennia.
