Template:Script/Cuneiform



template intended to force fonts that support the Unicode cuneiform range.

known fonts:
 * Akkadian, CuneiformComposite (Classical Sumerian)
 * Free Idg Serif (Old Assyrian)

optionally, two parameters can be used. In this case, the first parameter is a number from 1 to 7, specifying the historical stage preferred, per Image:SAG.png:


 * 1) archaic pictogram, around 3000 BC.
 * 2) rotated pictogram, around 2800 BC.
 * 3) abstracted glyphs in archaic monumental inscriptions, from ca. 2600 BC
 * 4) Classical Sumerian cuneiform as written in clay, from ca. 2600 BC
 * 5) Neo-Sumerian, late 3rd millennium
 * 6) Old Assyrian, early 2nd millennium, as adopted into Hittite.
 * 7) Neo-Assyrian, early 1st millennium

this is so far supported only for (5) and (6), for lack of fonts for the other stages.

use  for transliterations of cuneiform, and ,  ,   to transliterate specific languages.
