Template intended to force fonts that support the two [[Cuneiform Unicode block]]s.

=== Usage ===
known fonts:
*Akkadian[http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/download.html], CuneiformComposite [http://cdl.museum.upenn.edu/cuneifonts.html] (Classical Sumerian)
*Free Idg Serif[http://flaez.ch/freeidg.html] (Old Assyrian)

optionally, two parameters can be used. In this case, the first parameter is a number from 1 to 7, specifying the historical stage preferred, per [[:Image:SAG.png]]:

#archaic pictogram, around 3000 BC.
#rotated pictogram, around 2800 BC.
#abstracted glyphs in archaic monumental inscriptions, from ca. 2600 BC
#Classical Sumerian cuneiform as written in clay, from ca. 2600 BC
#Neo-Sumerian, late 3rd millennium
#Old Assyrian, early 2nd millennium, as adopted into Hittite.
#Neo-Assyrian, early 1st millennium

this is so far supported only for (5) and (6), for lack of fonts for the other stages.

use <code><nowiki>{{transl|Xsux|...}}</nowiki></code> for transliterations of cuneiform, and <code><nowiki>{{transl|sux|...}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{transl|akk|...}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{transl|hit|...}}</nowiki></code> to transliterate specific languages.

==Examples==
*{{tlp|cuneiform|4|𒅴𒂠}} EME.GIR<sub>15</sub> -> {{cuneiform|4|𒅴𒂠}} {{transl|sux|EME.GIR<sub>15</sub>}}
*{{tlp|cuneiform|6|𒉈𒅆𒇷}} ''ne-ši-li'' -> {{cuneiform|6|𒉈𒅆𒇷}} {{transl|hit|''ne-ši-li''}}
