Editing Hurrians (section)

=== Shubaru/Shubria ===
After the destruction of Mitanni by the Hittites around 1350-1325 BC, the term ''[[Subartu|Shubaru]]'' was used in Assyrian sources to refer to the remnants of the Mitanni in the upper Tigris valley. The Shubaru people revolted against the Assyrians multiple times in the last centuries of the second millennium BC. The term is related to ''[[Shubria]]'', the name of a country located north of the upper Tigris River valley.<ref name="Subartu">{{Cite book |last=Baker |first=H.

Hurrians formed part of the Shubrian population and may have been the predominant group. Some scholars have suggested that Shubria was the last remnant of Hurrian civilization, or even constituted the original homeland of the Hurrians.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Parker |first=Bradley J. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r-2dQgAACAAJ&q=The+Mechanics+of+Empire+pdf |title=The Mechanics of Empire: The Northern Frontier of Assyria as a Case Study in Imperial Dynamics |date=2001 |publisher=Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project |isbn=978-951-45-9052-8 |location=Helsinki |pages=230–231 |language=en}}</ref> Karen Radner writes that Shubria "can certainly be described as [a] (linguistically and culturally) Hurrian" state. According to Radner, a letter from the king of Shubria to an Assyrian magnate from the time of Sargon II was composed in the Hurrian language.<ref name="Radner">{{Cite journal |last=Radner |first=Karen |date=2012 |title=Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Musasir, Kumme, Ukku and Šubria – the Buffer States between Assyria and Urartu. |url=https://www.academia.edu/1236294 |journal=[[Acta Iranica]] |volume=51 |page=244}}</ref>
