Hi Shijing,
been busy preparing finances, researching our upcoming holiday & next investment property, etc etc....
hehe, your technical responses r over my head atm, but that is good.
I cant argue technically for obvious reasons, so i'll stick to logic & principles & approaches to problem solving which i am very successful in.
Do ALL languages have to abide by todays established rules pertaining to the past? Is it possible that some old languages operated or had their own logic/rules which have not been discovered or properly discovered & so will never equate to known rules? Or is that a technical impossibility? EG in Maths u can work out anything with almost 100% assurity of accuracy whereas analogue topics u cant. Some hungarians & asians say that westerners dont have the mindset (ie key) to unlock the true meanings. And if the language has deeper or multi-layered meanings depending on position, context, cultural understanding etc etc then the westerner or even modern hungarian for instance has little hope of uncovering the nuanses. EG, runes were used till recently in hungary/translylvania on sticks, hence due to limited space conveys many things in short space. Std language rules fall to pieces in this situation. what if sumerian operates in a similar vein? Maybe current rules apply on the surface strata, but do not pick up the other layers. Note that the runes r written top down, right to left as were ancient writings & asian etc. There r many individual coinciodence i have seen when added together forms a convincing case. ;)
This occured in Sth America where linguists could not transliterate the mayan (or whatever) language. A young US scientist came along who grew up with linguist parents & exposure several ancient cultures & so had a different mindset to approach the problem. He succeeded purely because he did NOT follow known language rules precisely. The hieroglyphs had many potential meaning depending on position etc.
R u saying above that the pronunciation &/or spelling of
Is it possible that agglutinative researchers due to not knowing the cultural thought patterns of Agglutinative people have not & cannot properly transliterate (or whatever the term) agg languages? And visa versa? IE, i suggest that a builder cant apply his building knowledge to plaster cast a broken arm even though they do similar tasks of fixing a hole in a plaster wall, hmmm poor example. Both MD & builder will achieve some level of success working in the other's field but never 100%.
Using simple logic i would ask whether 2 words have the same meaning, & if so how close is their pronunciatoin or spelling. Pronunciation of the one original word will change over time & over cultures & countries. I can see why scientists want exact matches according to rules which is proper, but to establish an overall connection between 2 cultures doesnt need that level of exact evidence, i would assume because of so many possible reasons why words can mutate without following rules. Thus assembling evidence from multiple sciences should overcome the need to be absolutely exact in just one.
Therefore if u find many similarities between language 1 & language 2 then even though the rules may suggest questionable or zero connection i would ask how many similarities r there. If only a few dozen then i would give up unless no other language has any. But if other fields produce connections as well then the similarities suddenly become important again because of the weight of other evidence such as culture, genertics, etc etc. John Halloran said

i understand many of the words in the above site.
I found a uni that had either egyptian or sumerian text about containers of grain as well as tallies of farms produce, which i understood about half (?) of the words. Have lost that link unfortunatley. :( But i'll keep looking.
Anyway, IF there is a strong or real connection between Sumerian & Magyar/Turkic, etc which is not as yet acknowledged in mainstream science i wonder what will change that. Will the west ever devote resources to look into that?0 What will it take to make this happen to resolve this properly once & for all? :)

/ / - [voiced] [post-alveolar] [fricative]
The velum is raised, blocking off the nasal cavity. The lips are mutually open. The blade of the tongue is raised towards the post-alveolar region, forming a narrowing. Pulmonic air passes through partially closed vocal folds, causing voice, into the oral cavity and through the narrowing formed at the point of articulation, causing friction. The air goes out of the body between mutually open lips.
Cs in magyar = Ch in english, & that Csaba is a common Hungarian name not found in any other language. Consider the likelihood chance causing this this example alone.
This example is problematic, because it looks like the author of this article was confused by orthography. What is transliterated here as Egyptian /ch/ is the velar fricative, whereas the Hungarian /cs/ is palato-alveolar [tʃ], so that what is actually being compared is [xaba] and [tʃaba], which doesn’t look nearly so good. (This also overlooks the point that this is Egyptian, not Sumerian, to which Egyptian has no linguistic affiliation).

is different? How different? like Bob vs Boat for eg? Even though its written in Egypt its no different to a Hungarian coming to Oz & having his name appear in the local newspaper in the Hungarian way. Hence no affiliation is required. Is my logic correct?[xaba] and [tʃaba],

I suggested to him as well that any question of connection shoul dnot rely on one field alone otherwise the rules may be too strinigent (ie inadequate) to allow for the vagaries of the myriad affects on languages over time. I think Sumerian is far from dead, have simply mutated into Magyar, Turkic, etc etc. Just the latest genetic research has found Neanderthols did not die out but merged with modern humans. Up till recently scientists were sure there was no connection between the 2 species.It is sad that ethnologists, such as van le Coq, seem to be a thing of the past.
