Basics of Ancient Ugaritic is a teaching<br />
grammar of this ancient language, one<br />
spoken at the time of Abraham and<br />
occurring in ancient texts in cuneiform<br />
writing. It begins with the alphabet,<br />
and each new lesson builds on the ones<br />
before it. It is not, therefore, a synthetic<br />
Ugaritic grammar—these types<br />
of texts often prove to be overwhelming<br />
for students. Instead, Basics of Ancient<br />
Ugaritic can be used for learning the<br />
language by individuals on their own<br />
or in a classroom setting. Each chapter<br />
concludes with a set of exercises along<br />
with an answer key in the back, which allows students to know<br />
whether they are grasping the fundamentals of the language. In<br />
short, Basics of Ancient Ugaritic represents an ideal first text for<br />
entering the larger world of Semitic languages.<br />
