thats why these teories are not supported in the world? you mean, the sumerologists are all stupid, because they did not use hungarian to translate sumerian texts (they dont. they used babylonian sources to understand it)?
i understand that this "sumer-magyar theory is very popular in hungary, but it doubts me that I could not find not I have seen other than magyar study which would support this theory.
Still we have other no more no less serious studies, which connect this language to the basque, or dravid languages, or tibetan languages. Other controversial theories put it along even indo-european (english, yes, english!) and japanese, but this is very controversial. In fact, Sumerian was put in relation with almost EVERY known agglutinative language.
So again. Today MAJORITY of linguistic community considere it to be isolate language.
And I am with the majority until you show me other than hungarian sources. Not because they are bad, just because I want to see it from different perspectives.
