>Glen Sumerian was not spoken in Central Mesopotamia.
I'm sure you mean that _Hurrian_ wasn't spoken in Central Mesopotamia (until
later historical times perhaps), which would be a correct statement. Since
you confuse NWC with NEC, have suggested a ludicrously late date for
Proto-Semitic and have made other blunt errors on your map in terms of
placement and time, your arguement is falling on deaf ears.
>Akkadian was spoken in Kish, so that the first Dynasty of Kish all
>have Akkadian (not sumerian) names, Akkadian was also spoken
>therefore in Southern Mesopotamia,
Of course. Akkadian, coming from the north and west, held its grip and
became popular. EncBritt mentions that Sumerian was either endangered or
practically moribund by 2000 BCE.
>Hurrian is, even you agree, a NE Caucasian language.
What books do you read at all. One can state that Hurrian is _related_ to
NEC, while _not_ part of the NEC family, and get away with it. Your claim is
far more contraversial and not generally accepted.
