People from Arabian who lived in Akkad (so-called Akkadian) are emigrated tribes from south Arabia (about 4000-6000 BCE) to the east of Arabia first then to Mesopotamia (Iraq). Despite the huge distance (for that days) to homeland and the evolution of the language of Akkadians, in this study we find a very large amount of vocabulary which corresponds to Arabic. This is the case even if you consider foreign Sumerian words adapted in Akkadian. In this work, Arabic was used in the interpretation of already transliterated and transcribed words into Latin. The Akkadian lived in a different environment than the homeland and mingled with the Sumerians and adopted many of the there vocabulary. Despite thousands of years between the emigration and demise of Assur, then Babylon, Arabic speakers can still understand and identify over 50% of the words (despite transcription in Latin). Not to forget that Arab tribes are attested in Mesopotamia and lived in the Levant since about at least 1000 BCE. Arab tribes were everywhere west of Euphrates and engaged especially with the Babylonians (reference: City of Babylon) and also Assyrians (reference: place / God Assur) worked. Arabs settled in city where called as to the name of these cities (not called Arabs).
Away from all speculations, the Sumero-Akkadian culture is the Heritage of the people of todays Iraq and Arabian including the Levant and the Arabian peninsula, the homeland of the Akkadian.
Even before the first millennium, the Arabs lived in Mesopotamian and the Syrian Jazeera. From the 8th century BCE, the Assyrians and Babylonians recorded Arabs living (every where) in eastern Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Iran, settled in large numbers in Babylonia, in the Syrian Jazira, on the slopes Of the Anti-Lebanon mountains, in north and north-west Arabia, and in Sinai.
Akkadian is a Peninsulan language (Related to the mother tongue of the Arabian Peninsula; similar to Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew etc.); as the word semitic is misleading, wrong in origin and is misused politically.

Thank You a lot for this excellent work. Thank You.

After an update everything functions. The dictionary is fascinating in that it ties Akkadian to Arabic. I am not entirely sure how accurate the entries are, but it is certainly an interesting tool and I will be using it for sure.
★★☆☆☆
A handy list of Akkadian words but the articles are littered with misinformation and Arab nationalist propaganda. An overwhelming number of falsehoods geared towards making Akkadians appear to be Arabs. The bias and blatant falsehoods are almost as funny as they are shocking. It's a shame that the efforts that went into the word list of this app were married to such things. Very misleading rubbish.
★★☆☆☆
The information inside the app is trying to prove that the ancient assyrian, akkadian, Babylon are arab groups which is completely wrong. The programmer/s who worked is trying to change some history By making the arabs history much more in depth and greater looking then Mesopotamian (Current iraq) history. Nonetheless, the information in this app are 99% non-academic proven or any relatable resource. But out of the developers head.
★★☆☆☆
The problems with the application information begin with an attempt to find a historical depth of Arab nationalism. The programmers of the application claim that the Assyrians and the Babylonians mentioned the Arabs, and the truth is that the Akkadians, and after them the Assyrians and the Babylonians, did not mention the Arabs at all, but used the word "erebu" in the sense of the Westerners (residents of the west of the Euphrates) and not the Arabs. Also, "Akhlamu" = nomadic people, not Arab.
