Dear Danny:

I subscribe to the view that Sumerian is a branch of Nostratic.

I believe it is probable that Sumerian is an attempt, by Caucasian-speaking people, to adapt to PAA.

For some possible connections, you might want to visit:

I do not know if this will be any more convincing to you but I would be glad for your feedback.
