ABSTRACT
Written communication is nothing new. Various civilizations and cultures employed the use of written communications throughout antiquity. The Sumerians employed pictographs as the basis of their written communications (Unger, 1988). The first observances of the Sumerian language are traced to approximately “3100 B.C. in southern Mesopotamia” (Kuper, 2011). This age and period of antiquity represent the Sumerian language as the “oldest written language in existence” (Kuper, 2011).
