[edit] Need rewrite

I stuck the toospecialized and cleanup-jargon tags to the article, as well as a technical here, as it is really illegible for anyone not deeply into this. Also, the unicode tag isn't used, rendering the page on most computers illegible because of all the squares. Jalwikip 10:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

cuneiform is linked right from the first sencence, and I cannot imagine why anyone would try to read this who has not previously read all of cuneiform and Hittite language, carefully. You don't go and try reading Banach–Tarski paradox without first being familiar with axiom of choice, either. That said, I don't doubt it can be improved. This is little more than a quick writeup: {{sofixit}}. Concerning Unicode, no amount of tagging will help if you don't have a cuneiform font installed on your system. See here. --dab (𒁳) 11:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Since I know a little about this topic (I am by no measure an expert), I made the effort to rewrite the article in less technical language. I hope this lowers the barrier to the subject, while not obscuring too many technical details. (As with every article on Wikipedia, those who want to know all of the gory details of the subject would do best to consult the sources used to write this article.) -- llywrch (talk) 18:34, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
