The AGGLUTINATIVE LANGUAGE of SUMER is a dot on a time continuum and yes it had many ANCESTORS but equally it has many living sister and daughter languages around the world. It evolved through endogenous and exogenous entropies to become Turkish, Hungarian, Dravidian Languages of India and many Amerindian languages. The Laws of Thermodynamics profess that energy cannot be lost, it just transforms through entropies.
From Dr. David Neiman’s lectures on Cradles of Civilization: “The Sumerian language is a language that has a structure we call agglutinative, there are several languages that have that feature, one is Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish, Mongolian, and uh, maybe, probably Japanese, I’m not certain about that, but we are certain about Mongolian, Sumerian, and Turkish”
Also from Dr. David Neiman’s lectures on Cradles of Civilization:“The Sumerian civilization flourished from its beginning, probably before 4,000 BC, until about 2,700 or 2,800 BC when a new population came into, or a new population became dominant in the country…by 2,700 BC, a group, we call them the Akkadians, the Akkadians are already in the country, they speak an entirely different language…the Akkadians speak Akkadian, which we call Babylonian…Babylonian is a Semitic language, it’s related to Hebrew”“The earliest versions we have of the Gilgamesh Epic in Sumerian dated from about 2,500 BC”

There is little doubt that modern day Jews are descended from a mix of all nations some of whose members decided to adopt the Jewish faith; either through marriage or for other expedient reasons. The one thing that Jews NEVER did was forcefully convert or proselytize. In fact anybody wishing to convert to Judaism was usually initially discouraged, and given the most compelling reasons NOT to…and if they still wanted to, then it was proof that they really had a love of Judaism in their hearts.
“From Sumer to Jerusalem” by John Sassoon (Intellect Books, 1993, 128 pages).“Tradition says that the Jews are part of the Arab family of nations, but this is now disputed. Archaeology has revealed a very early civilisation in the land known as Sumer in southern Mesopotamia, now southern Iraq, and this beautifully illustrated book argues that the Jews are not Semitic at all but the descendants of this culture, the earliest civilization in recorded history. Indeed, some Jewish practices hitherto considered to be entirely religious can now almost certainly be explained as strategy for national survival after the destruction of the original homeland.”
