Ugaritic (/ˌuːɡəˈrɪtɪk, ˌjuː-/) is a Northwest Semitic language, discovered by French archaeologists in 1929. It is known almost only in the form of writings found in the ruined city of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), Syria. It has been used by scholars of the Hebrew Bible to clarify Biblical Hebrew texts and has revealed ways in which ancient Israelite culture found parallels in the neighboring cultures.
Ugaritic has been called "the greatest literary discovery from antiquity since the deciphering of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Mesopotamian cuneiform".
The Ugaritic language is attested in texts from the 14th through the 12th century BC. The city was destroyed in 1180–1170 BC.
Literary texts discovered at Ugarit include the Legend of Keret, the Aqhat Epic (or Legend of Danel), the Myth of Baal-Aliyan, and the Death of Baal – the latter two are also collectively known as the Baal cycle – all revealing aspects of a Canaanite religion.
According to one hypothesis, Ugaritic texts might solve the biblical puzzle of the anachronism of Ezekiel mentioning Daniel at Ezekiel 14:13-16; it is because in both Ugaritic and the Ancient Hebrew texts, it is correctly Danel.
Basics of Ancient Ugaritic by Michael Williams represents a teaching grammar for Ugaritic, an ancient language spoken at the time of Abraham and written in cuneiform tablets. As such, it is an ideal resource for individuals to learn the language on their own or for a group of students in a classroom setting. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises allowing students to know whether they are grasping the fundamentals of the language. At the back of the book is a basic Ugaritic lexicon and an answer key to the exercises. In this video, Michael Williams discusses some of the book's helpful features for students.

These are two short letters from Ugarit. Both are presented in the Ugaritic Cuneiform Alphabet and transliteration (without vocalization). English translations are avaible by activating annotations. The way I vocalized and read them is different from my video about the Baal Epic. I left case marking away and merged or shortened some other forms so it sounds less formal and more natural (the resulting forms are similar to Hebrew or Vernacular Arabic). The second letter is special because it is written in the rare Ugaritic Short Alphabet which is written from right to left (other than the more frequently used Ugaritic Long Alphabet) and contains only 21 signs (the Long Alphabet has 30). The few texts written in the Short Alphabet are probably not Ugaritic but another Northwestern Semitic l...
