Back to Akkadian!
No Codex Hammurapi this time but 3 different kinds of texts (still 2 of them have to do with Hammurapi).
The first 2 text are a bit too long to be shown in cuneiform transliteration and transcription. So each of them is shown and read out twice. Translations are available as annotations. For the first 2 texts they show up when each of them is read for the second time.
The first text is a letter to Hammurapi and has to do with trade. A merchant is upset about not having got his barley so far.
The second text is an inscription by Hammurapi, praising himself and what he did for Sippir and Babylon.
The third text is some kind of incantation to get rid of a fly.
My pronunciation differs a bit from my Codex Hammurapi video.
Here it is influenced by the affricate hypothesis, which is why i pronounce š as [s] and s as [ts].
I also spirantize the voiced plosives b d g a bit when they stand between vowels. I think it sounds a bit more natural... like an actual spoken language.
If there are some Akkadian aces and cuneiform geeks, just tell me if there are any mistakes. I've got problems with cuneiform and might have produced some mistakes.
Please note that I didn't prepare the transliteration and transcription by myself but copied them from a textbook.
The introduction to a miniseries in which I will hopefully teach myself and maybe even some other people the Akkadian/Babylonian language.

For the beauty of the ancient Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) language, I am reading some selected paragraphs from the monumental law text enacted by His Excellency King Hammurapi, King of Sumer and Akkad, who ruled Babylonia around the 18th or 17th century BC.
The first column of each paragraph is the original cuneiform text.
The second column is a sign-by-sign-transliteration with the Sumerian names for sumerograms.
The third column is a reconstructed transcription (that's what I'm reading out).
The fourth column is a line-by-line translation in German. Sorry to those who don't speak German, but originally I wrote that translation for my own studies.
For those who cannot understand German I added an English translation underneath each paragraph.

Akkadian language
Akkadian (/əˈkeɪdiən/ akkadû, 𒀝𒅗𒁺𒌑 ak-ka-du-ú; logogram: 𒌵𒆠 URIKI ) is an extinct East Semitic language (part of the greater Afroasiatic language family) that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia. The earliest attested Semitic language, it used the cuneiform writing system, which was originally used to write ancient Sumerian, an unrelated language isolate. The language was named after the city of Akkad by linguists, a major center of Semitic Mesopotamian civilization during the Akkadian Empire (ca. 2334–2154 BC), although the language itself predates the founding of Akkad by many centuries.
The mutual influence between Sumerian and Akkadian had led scholars to describe the languages as a sprachbund. Akkadian proper names were first attested in Sumerian texts from ca. the late 29th century BC. From the second half of the third millennium BC (ca. 2500 BC), texts fully written in Akkadian begin to appear. Hundreds of thousands of texts and text fragments have been excavated to date, covering a vast textual tradition of mythological narrative, legal texts, scientific works, correspondence, political and military events, and many other examples. By the second millennium BC, two variant forms of the language were in use in Assyria and Babylonia, known as Assyrian and Babylonian respectively.

Dr. Finkel is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection- some 130,000 pieces -- of any modern museum. This work involves reading and translating all sorts of inscriptions, sometimes working on ancient archives to identify manuscripts that belong together, or even join to one another.
The first script is the words of Cyrus the Great (سخنان کوروش کبیر), the Persian King and the King of Babylon. The second script is a piece of poetry about the Story of the Flood.
