In the online article, 'Linguistics: Deep relationships between languages',
Jared Diamond discusses Edward Vajda's evidence for a link between
Yeniseian and Na-Dene. According to the article, Vajda proposes that
Yeniseian languages and American Na-Dene languages share a dozen
grammatical prefixes and about 100 cognate words with sound
correspondences. The articles ends with a discussion of key questions that
still need to be answered. For the full article, please go to the following
