I think its a stretch to assign linguistic stuff likethat. The
etymology of American langauges is a large field of study. Do you
have any evidence that there are linguistic ties to Asian languages?
I mean, the closest tie that anyone can find to Japanese appears to
be Hungarian or something. Surely such obvious similarities between
Sanskrit and American languages would have been noted in the
scholarly works?
