By the middle of the second millennium B.C. Akkadian had spread from the homeland Babylonia-Assyria to neighbouring countries in the Near East and Egypt. An offshoot of Akkadian - indicated by scholars as Peripheral Akkadian - became the lingua franca and the vehicle for international diplomacy. It consisted of numerous dialects and subdialects.
