I assume it's because akkadian is heavily influenced by sumerian, whereas aramaic tends to be purer, thats why it is closer to arabic phonetically and grammatically.
Both Akkadian and Aramaic were spoken in Iraq Syria Turkey and other neighboring countries. However Akkadian was the primary language of Iraq. Love to Iraq my ancestral land❤🇮🇶❤.
@@hieratics That's right. Most of Middle eastern and North African countries speak Arabic as mother tongue. Arabic is also sweet beautiful and rich language as well as semitic just like Akkadian, Aramaic, Hebrew etc.
I really love this channel. ❤ (Akkadian is one of the many languages I would like to learn some day). Just the other day, I have come across one of your deleted videos [The Sound of the Ancient Egyptian Language (The Sacred Texts)], by my search for my YT project I am currently working on - may I ask why did you delete this marvellous video? I have never heard a better Egyptian voice (I know, it is not a real pronunciation - as you mentioned in that video), but still, I am deeply impressed (and to be honest, I am actually preferring your pronunciation in said video).
Syrian here. I haven't yet learned Aramaic but I'm working on it after I make my persian better. May these languages rejoin our knowledge without harm of extinction.
The Aramaic speaker seems more comfortable in terms of speaking, maybe it's more preferable that middle eastern people volunteer for semitic languages rather than western people if we want a glimpse of what they really sound like.
The speaker could be German, and many people who learn Akkadian for archaeology are from Western countries, as it is commonly taught in colleges there. Additionally, the speakers in her videos are volunteers and many are her subscribers. If you want Iraqis or others to learn Akkadian more widely, you would need to establish schools for that and create incentives to encourage learning. Regarding the person talking about Akkadian and Sumerian having a guttural or uvular “r,” not all scholars agree, but a significant number now believe that the Akkadian “r” might have had a more guttural pronunciation, possibly as a velar or uvular fricative. In contrast, the Sumerian “r” is typically thought to have been an alveolar sound, such as a trill or flap.
Modern Assyrian is actually East Aramaic and is indeed related to Chaldean which is also an East Aramaic language. In addition, there is a third East Aramaic language, namely Turoyo. All 3 are therefore related to each other and are still spoken today. Old Assyrian actually descends from Akkadian and has been extinct as a language since the first century AD.
@@ancientaramean6929Akkadian is an extinct East Semetic language Akkadian does not have Decendents Aramiac is a decendent of West Semetic like Cannanite Arabic is a Branch of it's own as "Central Semetic"
I also noticed Arabic is closer to Aramaic in case of pronunciations like ث ذ etc. however both are beautiful languages.❤

But now unfortunately everyone speaks just Arabic

Akkadian similar to Herbew language but Chaldean similar to Arabic language.
as a Arab Aramaic is easyer
What do you do for a living ?

What's with the heavy German accent of the Akkadian speaker lol
Also is he the "Iltam sumra rašupti ilātim" guy?
I think Akkadian (and Sumerian) had guttural/uvular R
@@hieraticsPerhaps but this narrator seems German
'Also is he the "Iltam sumra rašupti ilātim" guy?' I had the exact same thought - the pronunciation pattern seems very similar.

@ancientaramean6929 so there are 3 which are modern assyrian, chaldean and turoyo, right? They are all related but diffrent languages yea?
@@ancientaramean6929Akkadian is an extinct East Semetic language
Akkadian does not have Decendents
Aramiac is a decendent of West Semetic like Cannanite
Arabic is a Branch of it's own as "Central Semetic"
