Sumerian Comparative Dictionary ( 2009)

This dictionary draws on the work of D. Westermann, H. Mukarovsky and A. Meeussen along with more recent scholars such as J.M. Stewart to establish that Sumerian is connected closely with Niger-Congo. The earlier theory that linked Sumerian with Afro-Asiatic is rejected. Over 300 words of Sumerian are compared with Bantu, Niger-Congo and other African languages. The result is conclusive. For the comparative grammar of Sumerian see my Sumerian Comparative Grammar (2009).
