This is an introductory pedagogical grammar, designed for readers with no previous knowledge of Sumerian or its writing system; it can be used either with or without a teacher. It includes a general description of the language and its writing system, a series of 26 graduated lessons, and a number of appendices. Each lesson includes a sign list and vocabulary, cuneiform text(s), transliteration, transcription, and translation, detailed linguistic commentary, and discussion of the function of the text. The texts are presented in autograph and/or photograph. They include royal inscriptions, letters, legal texts, and economic/administrative texts, all dating to the Ur III period.
