Although nobody knows exactly what vowels were available in S. and what=20
consonants were next to what vowel after what consonant they all have a nice=20
tendency to change all the time (especially in affixes) and so do consonants=20
(especially in affixes) in monosyllable words (change all the time) so you=20
can reliably relate S. to any language anywhere in the world. I read an=20
interesting article in a major Japanese newspaper claiming a link between Ja=
p=20
and S. and a whole book of roots common to Hungarian and S.
I can't see how anybody could speak that language. It's obviously a mere=20
invention : Sumerian never existed, I'm sure of it now, it's just been made=20
up by some crazy archeolinguists to baffle everybody the whole world.=20
