The origins of the language and its people remain clouded in mystery. Physically, the Nanhoshka people look distinct from the Northwest Pacific Native Americans just 862 kilometers from the eastern shore, but their physical features bear a strikingly close resemblance to the Minhast people of the Republic of Minhay, who live much further away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean close to Japan and Ainushir. Because of these physical resemblences, both anthropologists and linguists have been exploring a possible relationship between the two peoples. Although recent genetic research has uncovered that both the Nanhoshka and Minhast belong to the haplogroup C-M212, suggesting a common ancestry, linguists have been much less successful in establishing a relationship. Some linguists have compiled Swadesh lists that suggest some lexical items may have a common origin, but so far researchers have failed to demonstrate reliable sound correspondences between the two languages. Therefore, both Nankôre and Minhast remain classified as language isolates. | The origins of the language and its people remain clouded in mystery.
