Title Was There Hebrew Language in Ancient America? An Interview with Brian Stubbs Author(s) Brian Stubbs and John L. Sorenson Reference Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 9/2 (2000): 54–63, 83. ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract In an interview with John L. Sorenson, linguist Brian Stubbs discusses the evidence he has used to establish that at least one language family in Mesoamerica is related to Semitic languages. Stubbs explains how his studies of Near Eastern languages, coupled with his studies of Uto-Aztecan, helped him find related word pairs in the two language families. The evidence for a link between Uto-Aztecan and Semitic languages, or even Egyptian or Arabic, is still tentative, although the evidence includes all the standard requirements of comparative or historical linguistic research: sound correspondences or con- sistent sound shifts, morphological correspondences, and a substantial lexicon consisting of as many as 1,000 words that exemplify those correspondences.

  • Pueblo Tribe
    Pueblo Tribe How do you pronounce the word "Pueblo"? What does it mean? It's pronounced "PWAY-bloh." This just means "town" or "village" in Spanish, and was originally used to refer to the Indian cliff dwellings and large adobe house complexes of the Southwestern Indian tribes. Today, the word "Pueblo" (with a capital P) is also used to refer to these tribes themselves. There are many different Pueblos and each has its own name, including the Acoma, Cochiti, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Nambe, Picuris, Pojoaque, Sandia, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Santo Domingo, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Santa Clara, Taos, Tesuque, Ysleta del Sur, Zia, and Zuni. The Hopi are also Pueblo people, but they are culturally more distinct from the others, have a separate government, and are usually considered as a different tribe. Where do the Pueblo Indians live? The Pueblo are natives of the Southwest deserts, particularly New Mexico. (The Hopi live in Arizona, while the Ysleta del Sur Tigua live in Texas.) Unlike many Native American tribes, the Pueblo Indians were never forced to leave their homelands and are still living there today. How is the Pueblo Indian nation organized? The nineteen Pueblos of New Mexico belong to a confederation called the All Indian Pueblo Council, which makes joint political decisions on behalf of all of them. Each Pueblo also has its own local government, with laws, police, and services just like a small country. However, the Pueblos are also US citizens and must obey American law. In the past, the Pueblo Indians had a theocratic government. That means that the head priest or cacique (pronounced kah-seek) was also the town chief.

    Native Languages Archives Repository Project Reference Guide REFERENCE GUIDE SUMMARY To share with future generations, this Reference Guide was developed in support of the Native American Languages Act of 1992 to assure the survival and continuing vitality of Native languages. This Reference Guide – Native Language Preservation, Establishing Archives and Repositories - was produced with funding provided by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) through an Interagency Agreement with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). Native heritage languages are indeed endangered and immediate action is needed to save them. Language experts estimate that ninety percent of the 175 Native American languages spoken today are at risk and could disappear over the next two decades. This Reference Guide looks at the complex matter of saving languages through an intensely focused lens of language materials preservation and it provides practical ways in which communities, people and entities can marshal forces, combine efforts and apply resources to this emergency need. In conducting this project and preparing the Reference Guide, the first question that needed to be answered was: What is a language repository? A language repository is a collection of language materials that is being preserved in an orderly and accessible manner. The second question was: What is preservation? Preservation is an act to prevent further deterioration of any kind to records or materials. The old lines between archives, libraries, museums and repositories are blurring, if not disappearing, along with strict distinctions between electronic and physical repositories. While types of repositories are discussed in this Reference Guide the focus is on language repositories broadly and on language preservation and archival issues in detail.

    Reconsidering The Puebloan Languages In A Southwestern Areal Context Michael Everdell Oberlin College 2013 Advisor: Jason D. Haugen 1 Acknowledgments: I would like to thank all of my friends, family and professors who supported me throughout this process and aided in the research and development of this thesis. I cannot fully express my gratitude to my advisor Jason D. Haugen for not only his support, countless edits, discussions, patience, etc., but most of all for introducing me to linguistics in the first place, treating me as a peer, and mentoring me in my academic journey. Thank you Professor Josef Fioretta, of Hofstra University, for helping me with the early stages of research and for your constant encouragement and support. Thank you to Professor Baron Pineda, Professor Pablo Mitchell and Professor John McLaughlin (Utah State University) for granting me interviews and guiding my research of the cultures of the Southwest and Pueblos as well as equipping me with theories of culture. Thank you Dr. Anna A. Neuzil for helping me research and understand culture areas and their utility. Thanks to all of my Oberlin professors who have helped me grow into the person I am today and given me the tools and drive required to write this thesis and Professor Crystal Biruk for editing this acknowledgments section. I would also like to thank the other linguistics students at Oberlin, particularly Ida Hoequist, Luke Adamson, Miriam Rothenberg, and Casey Murphy, whose passion for this field has helped keep my spirits up during this grueling process. My fellow Anthropology honors candidate, Julie Christensen, commiserated with me and helped me talk through issues.

    T6 Table[6.[Languages T6 T6 DeweyT6iDecima Tablel[iClassification6.[Languages T6 *‡Table 6. Languages The following notation is never used alone, but may be used with those numbers from the schedules and other tables to which the classifier is instructed to add notation from Table 6, e.g., translations of the Bible (220.5) into Dutch (—3931 in this table): 220.53931; regions (notation —175 from Table 2) where Spanish language (—61 in this table) predominates: Table 2 notation 17561. When adding to a number from the schedules, always insert a decimal point between the third and fourth digits of the complete number Unless there is specific provision for the old or middle form of a modern language, class these forms with the modern language, e.g., Old High German —31, but Old English —29 Unless there is specific provision for a dialect of a language, class the dialect with the language, e.g., American English dialects —21, but Swiss-German dialect —35 Unless there is a specific provision for a pidgin, creole, or mixed language, class it with the source language from which more of its vocabulary comes than from its other source language(s), e.g., Crioulo language —69, but Papiamento —68. If in doubt, prefer the language coming last in Table 6, e.g., Michif —97323 (not —41) The numbers in this table do not necessarily correspond exactly to the numbers used for individual languages in 420–490 and in 810–890. For example, although the base number for English in 420–490 is 42, the number for English in Table 6 is —21, not —2 (Option A: To give local emphasis and a shorter number to a specific language, place it first by use of a letter or other symbol, e.g., Arabic language 6_A [preceding 6_1].
