Which ancient language are you?
in Mindless Fun, Language

Here’s a quiz that purports to find out what ancient language one is. I’m Akkadian. Like the Spanish Inquisition, I suspect that nobody expects Akkadian. (Does this mean I’m Cajun, too?).

 

Your Score: Akkadian

You scored

Akkadian writing

You are Akkadian, a blend of the incomprehensible symbols of the Sumerians with the unwritable sounds of the early Semitic peoples. However, the writing just doesn’t suit the words and doesn’t represent everything needed, so you end up a schizoid mess. Invented in Babylon, you’re probably to blame for that tower story. However, crazy as you are, you’re much loved and appreciated, and remain actively in use by records keepers long after schools have switched to other languages.

I got Akkadian too. In fact the results said:
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Ideogramatic
You scored higher than 99% on Syllablic
You scored higher than 99% on Logogramic
You scored higher than 99% on Alphabetic

At least I’m consistent.

I got Egyptian Hieroglyphics. That’s super-cool!

I’m older futhark, an ancient Norse language. (No wonder I married Thor!)
