Hurrian language
The language was first attested in the 21st-20th centuries BC and as an archaic Northwest Semitic language and belonging to the branch of Canaanite dialects. The language is found in the proper names recorded by scribes from the era of Amorite rulership in Babylonia, during the end of the 3rd millennium BC, and occasionally in ancient Egyptian writings. The Amorite kings communicated with other rulers through the Akkadian language. During the 15th-14th centuries BC, the Amorite city of Qatna received deep influence from the Hurrian language, as scribes of the city incorporated Hurrian elements into their texts. In the 2nd millennium BC, the Ugaritic language directly descended from the Amorite language, with Amorite itself going extinct over the course of the 2nd millennium BC.
