There were waves of migration, bringing different languages.
Do you think it's true that the Navajo people migrated from Mongolia across
and south, some of them turned east and settled in the Arizona area,
displacing the Anasazi, and the rest continued south, settling in South
America?
I have heard that during World War II when Americans were using Navajo as a
"secret" language, some South American Indian men recognized it as closely
related to their language, and both groups remembered the account of the
separation of the two groups, one continuing south and the other turning
east.
Any documentation on that?
