Originating in what is now Iraq before 3200 BC, cuneiform script is, as far as we know, oldest form of writing in the world. The recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems at the end of 4th Millennium BC. The first written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from the site of Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented.
