      Elamite language was related to Dravidian, so... no.

      @ possibly but dravidians may have originally come from Iran and looked originally like Iranians prior going to India and mixing with the natives there

    Today's historians believe that the script and culture of the Elamites came from the Jiroft civilization and not the Sumerians. Also, the examples of scripts found in Jiroft civilization are older than the first examples of Sumerian script

    François Desset spent ten years deciphering linear elamite and its mysterious symbols. We now know that it was a language probably as old as Sumerian, and that it belonged to a different linguistic system.

    What's really fascinating about the dozens of ancient civilizations and empires was their ability to flourish and thrive in what are now wastelands of rock and sand. Something tells me this was not always so...what happened?

      Yes, the Middle East dried out. But also, the Middle East is sheltered from rough Oceanic climates that are bad for faming and forming tribal cities.

      They used the trees to make fire. That has happened everywhere where is dessert today but had people living in it once. When you take the trees without replacing them the land will dry out and become dessert.

      So in Welsh, Elam is spelled in two words ? (or a typo?) Of which one is "e" ? Or a grammatical feature maybe?
      I always found interesting the words containing only one letter.
      Like the very common "a", "à" and "y" in french ? ("il A pensé", "penser À", "Y penser" for example)
      (I didn't count when there is an ' next to the letter)

      @@antonyreyn humour ok I briefly considered that possibility since it's so short that it does not look like a full sentence. In both cases. So I guess it could be a wordplay.

      Don't bother I'm sure I can learn Welsh as my fifth language. In a couple months. On weekends. (of course just kidding).
      (Bonus track:)
      A single letter for a word that's not common but exists in Romanian too...

      Aaaand if you try really hard you can even make a sentence with one word that has one letter :
      "- Aici, nu e?
      - Ba da. E."
      The last "E." meaning "It/he/she is ("here" in that context). So "E." is a sentence. It ends with a dot and begins with an upper case (and is pronounced like "yeah")
      and is a more casual way to say it. Properly it's "Este". Yeah too many letters, let's just keep the first one bro

      Though not likely to be a related cognate.
      "Sus" ou "asupra" in Romanian is more related to "sur" ou "au-dessus" in french which all come from the cognate "supra/super" (like in superposition, supreme, surface,...)

      Etymology can be tricky like in german, feuer is in fact by coincidence similar to the french word for fire : feu. But different origin.
      One spooky similarity I've found is between the Romanian "UȘĂ" which means "door", which is "uche" in...Waloon (a language related to a variety of old french and still spoken but by elderly people mostly in south Belgium where I live)

      @@borntobewise87 Feuer and feu ancestor is romanian foc.
      German and french have the ancestor language as they are both indoeuropean.
      Proto indoeuropean is a type of vulgar latin, thats much older than latin and romanian is the oldest vulgar latin, the language of the thracians and proto indoeuropean.
      Susa is for sure an indoeuropean name. It is the oldest city of Persia but european thracians have older cities like Plovdiv thats older than Susa.
      Uche indeed comes from usa and if you want to hear old, romanian like vulgar latin language in that area, look up Occitan.
