About this Gig
I will translate any text into Sumerian, Babylonian or Assyrian using the cuneiform script. I will provide a digital copy in 6 different cuneiform fonts, which represent different historical periods of the cuneiform tradition, accompanied by a Latin transliteration of your text.
The cuneiform script was used from ca. 3000 BCE until ca. 100 CE to write various ancient languages in West Asia like Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hittite, Elamite, Ugaritic, Hurrian, Urartian, and Old Persian. It represents one of the oldest known scripts of humanity and was longer in use than any other writing system, accounting for 60% of written human history.
Cuneiform is a logo-syllabographic writing system, which means that a cuneiform sign can be read as a word or as a syllable. Additionally, most cuneiform signs represent multiple words and multiple syllables.
The history of cuneiform cultures and religions is a complex topic due to its temporal and geographical distribution. I have studied over 10 years at a German university and am currently pursuing a PhD in the History of Knowledge in the Ancient Near East, which makes me globally one of the few hundred experts in the field.

FAQ
What is the difference between translation and transliteration?
A translation makes the meaning of a text in one language understandable in another language, while a transliteration uses a different writing system to represent words using the same language.
Is there any difference between cuneiform signs from different places and periods?
Yes, the form of cuneiform signs, the orthography, changed over time while the system stayed the same. Cuneiform signs from the 3rd and 2nd millennium BCE are generally much more elaborate than those from the 1st millennium BCE, while the latter look much more stylised than the former.
Why should I use your service and not a free translator on the internet?
Because the available translators actually only produce transliterations and even these are mostly incorrect as they mix up signs and sign forms from different historical periods and places, thus providing fully artificial and incorrect results.
What can I do with a Sumerian or Akkadian translation?
Because cuneiform texts are aesthetically appealing, you can use it for art projects, tattoos and product designs. Additionally, as the script also has magical aspects, you can integrate it in esoteric practices, like meditation, spell casting, curses and rituals.
