@Waagal Yeah The first line is the pronounciation And the second line is meaning

You can find the translation in the description of this video.

I'm studying it on my own, so for sure there's room for improvement. Though, it seems indeed that early sumerian had no voiced sounds, it also seems that in the late 3rd millennium BC, the unaspirated stops are thought to have become voiced in most positions. It is therefore matter of debate. The song I made is an humble adaptation and do not intend to represent perfectly the language, as I'm constantly learning and improve my knowledge of it. For "z" sound, I found out later that it as "ts" sound, as I based at the time my work on another linguist paper that propose /z/ instead.

@@Waagal to be fair, u got a point in that singing is not the same as talking, we do things while singing that wouldnt be following the nornal rule of that language and that applies to almost every language i.e. while singing in chinese, with strong liason the unaspirated voiceless stops may even become voiced stops despite chinese speakers are not used or aware of making them..... so it gets a pass there :D i REALLY love ur work, so please if u wanna have any easy-to-understand input of some obscure ancient language u plan on making a song in, *_please_* feel free to hit me up, im workin in cultural heritage conservation but since immaterial stuff also is part of culture at least i focus my efforts not only on buildings, artefacts and monuments but also involve my years long passion for (historical) linguistics----i'd love to help for free, my reward is the things u r creating ❤

also, i love to nerd out regarding languages, so if thats also ur thing i'd share thoughts happily---dont want to make u stop or replace ur own studies

@@Waagal (btw, as stupid as it sounds, english wikipedia is awesome for getting into most ancient languages cuz they summarize the different papers and opinions with arguments against&for each analyzation. if one knows the IPA that already gives a solid point to start for the most propable pronunciation. ---- the thing is that one may anatomically simply not understand/be able to hear some stuff if comimg from a mother tongue that does not exhibit these things, i.e. something like the concept of vowel length for speakers of e.g. english)

@@eyeofthasky yes I found out for wikipedia article, there's a lot of info for phonology/IPA sound :)

A frame drum. This one is a Tar from Mein Percussion for example ;)

Thanks ;)

Would love to try one !
