Babylonian letters representing the correspondence between king Sargon II and his officials in southern Mesopotamia form the smaller part of the surviving text corpus (about 200 letters and fragments). While their shape closely resembles that of the Assyrian letters, the script and language of these letters is markedly different, representing the Babylonian version of the cuneiform script and the Babylonian dialect of the Akkadian language.
