Editing Cuneiform (section)

===Hittite cuneiform===
[[Hittite cuneiform]] is an adaptation of Old Assyrian cuneiform to write the [[Hittite language]] that emerged c.&nbsp;1800&nbsp;BC and was used between the 17th–13th centuries BC. More or less the same system was used by the scribes of the [[Hittite Empire]] for two other [[Anatolian languages]], namely [[Luwian language|Luwian]] (alongside the native [[Anatolian hieroglyphs|Anatolian hieroglyphics]]) and [[Palaic language|Palaic]], as well as for the isolate [[Hattic language]]. When the cuneiform script was adapted to writing Hittite, a layer of Akkadian logographic spellings, also known as Akkadograms, was added to the script, in addition to the Sumerian logograms, or Sumerograms, which were already inherent in the Akkadian writing system and which Hittite also kept. Thus the pronunciations of many Hittite words which were conventionally written by logograms are now unknown.
