Sumerian language is different from all other languages.
It started out as pictograms. The Sumerians invented the sexagesimal system which counts by 60. This is where we get our 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. The Early Dynastic I of the Sumerians started around 2900 BC after the great flood. Different cities rose to power during these times.
