The Siberian cousins of Native Americans: The Ket People
(imshawn getoffmylawn) Nov. 2, 2023: Navajo is an odd language, used by the US military for a unit of "Code Talkers" because it could not be cracked by opponents listening in on conversations. But it may not be the language-isolate it has always been thought to be. It seems to be related to Ket, a Native Siberian language.
