My theory is that Amerindians and Austronesian have the same origins somewhere in Africa/middle east but got separated for thousands of years.
When I hear the Amerindian language it almost sounds very Austronesian to me.
ARAWAK for example is sounds like a City in Malaysia

Actually they both belong to bigger East Eurasian megacluster which also includes East Asians, Siberians, Australoids (Australian Aborigines, Papuans/Melanesians), Andamanese (Onge) Negritos, SE Asian Negritos and Jomon/Ainu before Amerindians separate from Asians at least 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. Not to mentioned that Amerindians have ANE (Ancient North Eurasian), a significant ancient West Eurasian component at around 30-40% or more that they shared this component with South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, etc), Europeans, Central Asians, Middle Easterners/West Asians (places like Turkey, Iran, Georgia, Armenia, etc) while Austronesians and other Mongoloids have literally 0% ANE (except Siberians and Central Asians who have significant amounts).
Australoids and Mongoloids both belong to the same Eastern Non-African/East Eurasian mega genetic cluster.
Maybe only some Amerindian languages. Most don't sound Austronesian.
Yep but it could also be coincidental. Many names and words from totally different linguistic families might sound similar but that doesn't mean they are related.
1) I saw the genetics of Average Central Americans that Rmuller posted. most of the Amerindian's DNA points closer to North East Asians of Siberia like Eskimos.
2) I saw the Amerindian language ( I will make another thread)
They use syllables like MO RO NU KU PA NO BO TO DO RA JE JU YA
just like Austronesians
BTW the purpose of this thread or movement is to build a bridge with Latin America. It doesn't mean that Amerindians are the same race or anything like that.
We have 1 Mexican, 1 Cuban and 1 dominican members here. I will invite Rmuller, my buddy cartilos, domare, chaos one, and other TA members here.
