To add more fuel to the thought process:
From this blog Is Telugu a classical language?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b> Miss Samyukta Koonaiah, a research scholar at the Telugu University (Srisailam Campus) published her findings that show many similarities between Sumerian language and old Telugu. Apparently, the Sumerians say that they came to Sumeria from a place called âTelivahaâ river valley and that they are âTelmunâ people. And Telivaha/Telmun is nothing but Telugu.</b>
See http://www.telugutanam.com/telmunlanguage.htm for her research paper.
<b>It would indeed be great to know that the entire Sumerian civilization started because of a migration from the Godavari river valley. The mythologies of the Judeo-Christian religions have their origins in the Sumerian civilizations. In a sense, the Telmun Migration Theory is the exact reverse of the Aryan Migration Theory.</b> But some how, <b>this doesnât sound true to me. Probably I am too conditioned to think that South Indians could indeed have traveled to Egypt and established a civilization there.</b>

And then add the gypsies story to the mix a new picture emerges.
