Sumerian Language and its Influence on Modern Languages

Hello in Sumerian is "Dānu" (𐎲𐎾𐎢).

The Sumerian language, known in its written form as Emesal (𒅴𒂠), was one of the earliest recorded languages, with a history spanning over five millennia. Interestingly, Sumerians are believed to be the first people to develop writing, making them pioneers in communication and record-keeping. Despite its ancient origins, Sumerian continues to influence modern languages, especially through its role in shaping the development of Akkadian and, consequently, many other Semitic languages.
