"The time-depth of the Roman language family (ca. 2,000 years) yields an abundance of similarities among languages descended from Latin:: Spanish, French, Italian, and do forth. The time-depth of Lehi is not much greater (2,600), yet no similar abundance of accepted linguistic evidence for Lehi's presence in the Americas has emerged. Is this because of a lack of evidence or a lack of looking? We cannot know until we look. The relative absence of effort in Native American languages relevant to Book of Mormon research is a huge void in Latter-day Saint scholarly endeavor. This paper discusses the value of and need to void this existing void, and presents from one Native American language family an example of the possibilities." [abstract provided]
