Glen, Piotr, or anyone,
 
Any truth to the following that Sumerian was more closely related to Finnish than to I-E or Semitic?

Hi,

I'm just reading "Sumerian mythology" by Samuel Noah Kramer. He claims that
the Sumerians  language was not related to indo-european or semitic
languages,
rather to the finish language family. Is this belief still prevalent among
linguistics?

Leif,
I will forward this post to my pals over on Cybalist and Nostratica and see what they can offer.
