what civilization created cuneiform
Cuneiform script (/kjuËËniËáµ»fÉËrm/ kew-NEE-i-form or /ËkjuËnáµ»fÉËrm/ KEW-ni-form), one of the earliest systems of writing, was invented by the Sumerians. It is distinguished by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, made by means of a blunt reed for a stylus. The name cuneiform itself simply means wedge shaped.
