their origin was China. (By Austronesian is meant any language in the Pacific Ocean
region, including Hawaiian.)

The ultimate origin of all languages (with the possible exception of "isolates" such as Zuni and
Basque) is therefore indicated to have been in Turkey. In this regard, it is interesting to note
that Genesis 8:4 reads, "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of
the month, upon the mountains of Ararat." Unfortunately, the only other occurrence of the
word "Ararat" is in Jeremiah 51:27. A comparison of these two verses did not immediately
establish much testimony beyond the mere word "Ararat". It nevertheless may be that a
comparison of Genesis 8:3-5 to Jeremiah 51:26-28 might establish some testimony about
Ararat beyond the mere word itself. Sufficient time to make this comparison will hopefully be
available in the near future.
