That puts it into question. Thanks for locating that.

I found this from outside sources and had no idea BYU was involved.

There is a linguist who is documenting links between Uto-Aztecan and Hebrew/Egyptian.
There was a time when it was believed that all languages derived from Hebrew, so linguists were trying to document links between Indo-European languages and Hebrew. Then it turned out to be a farce. That's why nowadays if you try to tie anything to Hebrew, linguists will roll their eyes, "Not this again." Think you're a religious fanatic. But currently, 300 word correspondences between Uto-Aztecan and Egyptian, 1,000 between Uto-Aztecan and Hebrew. This has the support of several non-LDS linguists. And FARMS is wisely not funding this research.

http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publ...=66&chapid=730 It's interesting stuff, but it's more of an interest to me intellectually (I'm a Spanish professor), than an attempt at proving my faith or my doubts. |

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to give that impression. As you can imagine, that kind of research is almost impossible to come by. I can't imagine many peer-reviewed journals would be willing to open themselves up to criticism over what many would consider faith-based linguistics, and even then, Mormon linguistics.
