J Mallea,
I have been misquoted, since I do not think Sumerian is isolated.
As outlined in an article in _Mother Tongue_ (Journal) III (1997),
I think Sumerian is most likely a member of the Dene-Caucasian
macrophylum.
All I know about Zacharia Sitchin comes from a television program
I saw last night, as a matter of fact. The main theme I got from
the TV program was that Sitchin believes the Sumerians to have been
influenced by visitors from another planet, thus stimulating them to
an advanced stage of culture in a relatively brief time.
I have not read anything by Sitchin, thus cannot say anything about
his ideas on the Sumerian language.
