??? Is it not a language or does it not have an alphabet.

Please explain this:

>>Bruce Lee rejected Christianity to embrace Zen Buddhism and Taoism.

It is generally supposed that the teachings of Jesus Christ derive
from Judaism. Judaism was engendered by promises made to Abraham by a
god. Biblical tradition indicates that the god of Abraham promised
kings and nations would come out of Abraham, and that the land
between the Nile and the Euphrates would be given to him and his
progeny. Revered writings of Judaism record that Abraham came from
the city of Ur in Sumer. The people of Sumer produced the first
written language. Sumerian literature influenced Akkadian, Hittite,
Canaanite, and biblical literature. Under Sargon, the first Semitic
empire builder (reigned circa 2334 BC - 2279 BC), the Akkadian
language became adapted to the Sumerian `alphabet'. The term Akkadian
stems from the name Akkad: the city Sargon built in honour of the
goddess Ishtar. Early in the second millennium BC Sumer joined with
Akkad to form the kingdom of Babylonia.

This clearly states that the people of Sumer produced the first
written Language. What are you trying to say?
