The Middle Assyrian Laws form a collection of canons about ancient Assyrian society. They are also a fascinating look at a specific Assyrian dialect of Akkadian. This video is from one of my Akkadian courses where we spend the week looking at different Akkadian dialects.
For more on ancient Mesopotamian laws, see Martha Roth's excellent work, Law Codes of Mesopotamia and Asia Minor.
