Detailed explanation-1: -During Sargon’s reign, East Semitic was standardized and adapted for use with the cuneiform script previously used in the Sumerian language into what is now known as the “Akkadian language".
Detailed explanation-2: -Sargon’s main accomplishments stemmed from his military achievements. These expeditions took him east to Iran, apparently as far west as Lebanon, to the north in Anatolia, and, finally, to the south of Mesopotamia, which allowed him to unite the two regions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Akkadian Empire, established by Sargon of Akkad, introduced the Akkadian language (the “language of Akkad") as a written language, adapting Sumerian cuneiform orthography for the purpose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sargon, a king from Kish, seized the lower portion of Sumer through a series of wars. He conquered one city-state after another to form a new region called Akkad. Sargon became king of Akkad and systematically brought every city-state within his newly conquered territory under one empire.
