Abstract
This paper describes some linguistic features of Akkadian administrative texts written with certainty in the city of Emar, i. e. the texts bearing a name of one of the kings of Emar. Emar Akkadian had plural sources which are distinct chronologically and geographically. Thus the resulting linguistic system exhibits archaic/innovative and Babylonian/Assyrian traits side by side. Another salient feature of Emar Akkadian is simplification found in its writing system, morphology and syntax. Besides, a unique formation of primae Alef S iprus as well as some unique syllabic/logographic values and lexical items are attested in Emar Akkadian.
