 ====== Writing and Language ======
-The [[cuneiform|writing system]] is both the earliest writing system and among the longest in use in human history. Although conventionally dated to 3200 BCE, radiocarbon dates seem to be moving the earliest form of the cuneiform script, known as [[proto-cuneiform]], even earlier in time. Perhaps a century after the initial formation of [[proto-cuneiform]], the innovation spread to administrative centers in Iran in a form of writing known as [[proto-Elamite]]. As part of an ongoing effort at CDLI, to make the text-artifactual record of cuneiform in all its phases easily available through the Internet, CDLI has put a number of well-known [[sign|lists]] on-line as well as a basic description of Sumerian grammar ([[Building|a Better Sumerian Grammar]]) and a preliminary list of words (ordered by frequency occurrence) in the Ur III corpus ([[Ur|III lemmata lists]]).
+This is mainly legacy data. A new format has to be agreed that includes better links to tools.
