Linguist Brian D. Stubbs has conducted extensive research suggesting that the Uto-Aztecan language family contains significant influence from ancient Semitic and Egyptian sources. By identifying over 1,500 linguistic connections and consistent phonetic shifts, Stubbs argues that nearly one-third of these Native American languages may derive from Near Eastern origins. These findings align with Book of Mormon accounts regarding the migration of Israelite groups to the Americas, who reportedly utilized both Hebrew and Egyptian dialects. The research highlights specific clusters of Aramaic and Phoenician influences that correspond to the distinct groups described in the religious text. While some scholars remain skeptical, proponents suggest these sound shifts and shared vocabularies provide a powerful, objective link between Old and New World civilizations. This linguistic evidence offers a potential scientific framework for understanding the complex cultural and migratory history of ancient American peoples.
