Ukr must be the ancestor of Sumerian, since, as everybody knows, Turkish is the only true descendant of Sumerian, as is Hungarian. I learnt both indisputeable facts on the 'Net. And let's not forget that close to one-half of all European languages descend from Slovenian (namely, all those who're in any language called anything containing a syllable resembling ven/wen/van/wan).
