our<br>> corpora.<br>> Ainu is an isolated language of Japan. It is not similar to Japanese. The<br>> closest distance happens to be 5.451 to an American Indian language<br>Quechua.<br>> The next closest language is Inga 7.388 which is also an American Indian<br>> language. The mean distance to Finno-Ugric languages -16.95; to Samoyedic<br>-<br>> 16.31; to Turkic- 18.08; to Mongolian - 23.66; to Chookchi and other<br>><br><br> Paleo-Asiatic languages - 15.41, etc. The results are published in: Yuri<br>> Tambovtsev. The phono-typological distances between Ainu and the other<br>world<br>> languages as a clue for closeness of languages. - In: Asian and African<br>> studies,<br>> Volume 17, #1, 2008, p.40-62. Our typological distances make us believe<br>that<br>> the forefathers of Ainu moved to America in the prehistorical times.<br>> Phonological features are the result of the articulation basis which is<br>>
preserved<br>> by the people for a long time if not forever. I have prepared another<br>long<br>> article on the distances between the American Indian languages and<br>> Siberian languages, but I do not know where to publish it. Can you advise<br>> me any<br>> journal?
