There are no sumerians or people who speak a sumerian language today.
However, there are a people that speak the Hebrew language today.
I say God favored those Hebrew people and their language over the sumerians.
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Glory be to God!

It was apparently relevant to God that Israel be a nation speaking the Hebrew language to fulfill the end time events that shall come to pass. 😏
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord!

The earliest historical records in the region do not go back much further than ca. 2900 BC. Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian as a spoken language somewhere around the turn of the 3rd and the 2nd millennium BC, but Sumerian continued to be used as a sacred, ceremonial, literary and scientific language in Babylonia and Assyria until the 1st century AD.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungHebrew flourished as a spoken language in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah during the 10th to 7th centuries BCE. Scholars debate the degree to which Hebrew was a spoken vernacular in ancient times following the Babylonian exile, when the predominant language in the region was Old Aramaic.
Hebrew didn't even exist until ~1000 BCE.
Hebrew was nearly extinct as a spoken language by Late Antiquity, but it continued to be used as a literary language and as the liturgical language of Judaism, evolving various dialects of literary Medieval Hebrew, until its revival as a spoken language in the late 19th century.

Obviously, Hebrew was in existence before the 10th century BCE. That is just the earliest they can date anything written in Hebrew. No one can say for sure when Hebrew was first spoken, but I believe it was the language spoken by Adam and Eve.
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord!

I did find it a little curious that you were engaged in a debate answering questions without any problem and then when the crux came, you disappeared. A quick scan of the forums though found you to be popping up elsewhere, just not here.

draw their own conclusions and will do, regardless. I could argue, but what's the
point? I keep asking myself, what is it I hope to achieve by remonstrating with others,
is it not better simply to relax and do something I enjoy, when I have the time?
