That's where I'm not following ya a7i... Sumerian ressembles Linear B and Tyrrhenean (especially Eteo-Cretan and proto-Pelasgian) languages more than anything else.... Moreover, there's a confirmed pattern leading to hg J2a8.

See I have a problem when people mention haplogroup J2 with Sumerians, the reason for that is because there has been no ancient DNA of Sumerians found, not to mention that the haplogroup diversity within that region today is very great with many different haplogroups.

An interesting study for that would be to test Marsh Arabs, but then again I have a feeling they have a very strong Arab background and we'll end up with J1 mostly.
