Jim,

All that is pure speculation, too. It's based on opinion, idiosyncratic interpretation, and wild speculation.

Now, could we stick to the question of what evidence there is for Hebrew as a linguistically isolated languageā€”that is, more isolated than any other language in antiquity (eg. Phoenician, Ugaritic, Aramaic, etc.).
