Languages of Iraq. There are a number of languages spoken in Iraq, but Mesopotamian Arabic (Iraqi Arabic) is by far the most widely spoken in the country.
The language spoken by the Assyrians was Akkadian, which is a Semitic language, which was used in Mesopotamia and its surroundings from 2,500 BC-750 BC. Furthermore, Akkadian was the Lingua Franca (official language) under its empire and was used diplomatically.
