The transcript of Brian Stubbs’s presentation at the 2016 FairMormon conference is now up:
While I do a number of languages — including the professional teaching of a Semitic one — I don’t consider myself a linguist in the strict sense of the word. Moreover, apart from the words tomato and chocolate, I know nothing of the Uto-Aztecan language family.
Thus, although I find the evidence plausible, I’m in no authoritative position to pronounce any kind of verdict on Brian Stubbs’s thesis.
I’ll say this, though: If he’s right, the implications of his argument are huge.
