 | | But that would violate the claim that no relationships would be recognizable after 10,000 years; if that figure is accurate, then if all languages are observably related, such a relationship must have somehow formed more recently. | | | Scholars who attempt to probe deeper than the comparative method supports (for example, by tabulating similarities found by mass comparison without setting up sound correspondences) are often accused of scholarly wishful thinking. | | | The hypothesis claims that the Nostratic grouping includes such widely ranging language families as Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, Uralic, Altaic, Sumerian, Elamo-Dravidian, and Kartvelian. |

| Â | Elam between Assyriology and Iranian Studies |
| | As I told you last year in Chicago, perhaps the Bible does not concern only ancient and Achaemenid Elam, if some Elamite Jews were in the crowd attending to the apostles' speech on the Pentecost day, more than five centuries after the fall of Elam as political organization. | | | However, in those days Elam was slightly different from ours: in fact Oppert rejected this hypothesis because the name 'Elam' implied a Semitic colouring which was alien to what he called Median, indirectly remembering us that Elam is probably a name given by Semitic peoples of Mesopotamia. | | | Elam was identified with Susiana through Elymais but it involved a wider geographical perspective. |

| Â | Elamite Empire |
| | The Middle Elamite Period begins about 1350 BCE, after a 200 year hiatus about which little is known. | | | The high country of Elam was later more and more identified by its low-lying later capital, Susa and called Susiana by geographers after Ptolemy. | | | The Elamite language is unrelated to the neighboring Semitic languages, Sumerian language, and Iranian languages, and the Elamites themselves were an Alpine people who had migrated to the Iranian plateau in prehistoric times. |
