| The Athabaskan language family is one of three families within the Na-Dene language phylum. |
|
| Basque may be the remnant language of the Cro-Magnon, which evolved into Caucasian, Sino-Tibetan and Na-Dene languages. |
|
| Clearly, then, the Paleo-Indian and Na-Dene migrations were separate events. |
|
| The Haida language is part of the Na-Dene family of Aboriginal languages, but is not closely related to any other language. |
|
| Na-Dene is one of the most widely distributed language phyla in North America. |
|
| Since Sapir, linguists have linked the Na-Dene languages to Asian languages, but their work is not conclusive. |
|
| The other two clusters are Na-Dene, a group of languages spoken mostly in Alaska and northeast Canada, and Eskimo-Aleut, spoken across northern Alaska and Canada. |
|
| Dr. Joseph Greenberg, a linguist at Stanford University, has proposed three migrations, corresponding to the three language groups of the Americas, known as Amerind, Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut. |
|
| Scientists are suggesting that Na-Dene and Yeniseian evolved from a common ancestral population in Beringia, a temporary land bridge that connected Asia and North America about 12,000 years ago. |
|
| Testing results showed she does indeed share a biological history with Native Americans, but more specifically with Native Americans of the Na-Dene speaking tribes. |
|
| Linguists have long held that both the Yeniseian languages in Siberia and the, Na-Dene languages in North America have no known relatives among other languages in the world. |
