Sumerian has no sister languages, and it not related to Basque or Georgian; it is a language isolate; is not written in hieroglyphs.
Sumerian is a term used to describe a person or object from the ancient kingdom of Sumeria. Unlike its sister language [[Akkadian]], which was written in [[cuneiform]], Sumerian was written in [[hieroglyphics]]. Historians believe that it is related to the [[Basque]] language of northern Spain and possibly [[Georgian]]. Sumerian is known for its unique syntactic features, which include an object-object-verb-subject word order and the use of the morpheme ''p'' before inanimate nouns and non-gendered substantives. It also has a tendency to employ left dislocations, in much the same way that some American Indian languages do.
