Here's why:
* Cuneiform was a writing system used by ancient Mesopotamian civilizations like the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. It died out around the 1st century AD.
* The languages spoken in Mesopotamia today are Arabic, Kurdish, and Persian. These languages use different writing systems (Arabic script, Kurdish script, and Persian script).
* Cuneiform is now studied as an ancient language and writing system by archaeologists, historians, and linguists.
While cuneiform is fascinating and holds immense historical value, it's not used for everyday communication anymore.
