A complete understanding of Sumerian grarnmar still comes up against apparently insurmountable problems that have been studied by a wide range of scholars, each with his own method of transliteration as well as different and often contradicting grammar. The main purpose of this article, which will be published in two parts, is to sketch out a brief history of the development of Sumerian studies, in order to analyse the difficulties that have traditionally hampered the full comprehension of the language of the non-Semitic neighbours of the Akkadian people.
