Was there ever a J sound in Hebrew?

Its possible that there was once a "J" sound in orignal Hebrew. As far as anyone can tell, Sumerian was the original language of the ancients. The sumerian lexicon is difficult to track down because even it synthesized a bit from Akkadian influence. I guess it really doesn't mater either way. Its an interesting topic though, nonetheless.

“It is in vain, O' man, that you seek within yourselves the cure for all your miseries. All your insight has led you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good.” -Blaise Pascal

The most comprehensive study that I've seen on the web concerning ethnography and philology can be found here. As far as my own personal beliefs, I believe that Sumerian is likely the progeny of all language, with Akkadian, Sanskrit, Greek, and possibly some defunct languages as the direct offshoots as far as the ancient languages go.Edited by nemesis_juggernaut, : edit to addEdited by nemesis_juggernaut, : typoEdited by nemesis_juggernaut, : fix tags
