Or the library reading through that book on scripts I always end up reading.
The one by Daniels or somebody like that. I'm getting interested in Sumerian
all a sudden.

My Techian legend is based on the Biblical story of Babel. The Nephilim, or
angels in physical form, led by Nimrod, brought the divine language to the
Sumerian empire, and Sumerian is a major simplification of that language,
also called Proto-Noachian, or Proto-Tech if you will. When Nimrod got too
big for his britches, God and the angels or "sons of God" scattered the
tongues and the people, and turned the giants into demons and banished them
to hell or the Sahara or something like that. The "good Nephilim", who
repented, were spared such punishment, and made to be humble little elves
living in the mountains and backwoods -- the Techians.

So in effect, Sumerian (or Proto-Sumerian) is a conlang, and all the
Nostratic languages and possibly Basque, North Caucasian and Nilo-Saharan as
well, came from that language.

Celtic is essentially Indo-European spoken by Techians. Or is that
Armenian...
