Editing Hurrian language (section)

==Hurrian literature==
Texts in the Hurrian language itself have been found at [[Hattusa]], [[Ugarit]] (Ras Shamra), and [[Sapinuwa]] (but unpublished). Also, one of the longest of the [[Amarna letters]] is Hurrian; written by King [[Tushratta]] of Mitanni to Pharaoh [[Amenhotep III]]. It was the only long Hurrian text known until a multi-tablet collection of literature in Hurrian with a [[Hittite language|Hittite]] translation was discovered at Hattusa in 1983.

Important finds were made at [[Ortaköy, Çorum|Ortaköy]] (''Sapinuwa'') in the 1990s, including several bilinguals. Most of them remain unedited as of 2007.

No Hurrian texts are attested from the first millennium BC (unless considering Urartian a late Hurrian dialect), but scattered loanwords persist in Assyrian, such as the goddess ''Savuska'' mentioned by [[Sargon II]].<ref>{{harvnb|Wegner|2000|p=25}}</ref>
