Sumerian literature is the literature written in the Sumerianlanguage during the Middle Bronze Age . Most Sumerian literature is preserved indirectly, via Assyria n or Babylonia n copies. The Sumer ians invented the first History of writing writing system, developing Sumerian cuneiform writing out of earlier proto writing systems by about the 30th century BCE. The earliest literary texts appear from about the 27th century BCE. The Sumerianlanguage remained in official and literary use in the Akkadian empire Akkadian and Babylonian empire Babylonian empires, even after the spoken language disappeared from the population literacy was widespread, and the Sumerian texts that students copied heavily influenced later Babylonian literature . Sumerian literature has not been handed down to us directly, rather it has been rediscovered through archaeology . Nevertheless, the Akkad ians and Babylonia ns borrowed much from the Sumerian literary heritage, and spread these traditions throughout the Middle East, influencing much of the literature that followed in this region.
