Paging Leo I guess (and anyone else who might know anything about it), but I've been reading up on Ancient Mesopotamia (trying to write a paper) and was wondering when exactly Akkadian went extinct? I know it became a minority language second to Aramaic in Iraq after the establishment of the Achaemenid Empire, but were their any traces left of it by say, the Islamic Conquest?

For AH, what can we do with this? What would you need to do to save Akkadian? And how much of Akkadian is known today? Would it be possible to revive it as a living language in some fashion?
