Commonalities between Turks and Native Americans and some common words..

 

It is widely known in Turkey that French linguist Dumesnil found more than 300 Turkish words in native Indian languages.

Some people are supporting the Sun Language Theory but its still in theory.

Some people claim that American Indians coming from Turks, as Turkish tribe they immigrated from Middle Asia to American continent during the " Great Migration ".

I just want to give some examples of common words  which are found in American native languages :

In American native language                                   In Modern Turkish

When I read "Chariots of Gods" by Erich von Däniken I had noticed the similarity between "gün" and "kin" (in Mayan language).

 

But note that there are many different languages when we say American Indians. At least a thousand different indigenous languages are spoken in the Americas. Some, such as Quechua languages, Aymara, Guaraní, Mayan languages, and Nahuatl, count their speakers in millions. (qouted from: here)
