Yeah, those Nazis obsessed over a language family.<br /><br />And of course, it's not even that. Eskimo-Aleut languages are pretty much unrelated to Quechuan languages; you even have a few nutbars in linguistics trying to link Eskimo-Aleut with Nostratic, which theoretically includes Indo-European languages along with Afro-Asiatic languages (e.g., Arabic, Amharic), Kartvelian (You probably don't know of any examples.), Dravidian (a lot of languages in southern India and Sri Lanka), Uralic (i.e., Magyar, Finnish, Estonian, Sami), and Altaic (i.e., Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Turkish). But even Nostratic is more accepted than Greenberg's "Amerind hypothesis", which practically everyone who views Eskimo-Aleut languages as Nostratic accepts. (They tend to link Athabascan languages to Chinese and North Caucasian languages.) Of course, the Amerind hypothesis tends to be one relying on gut feelings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
