"I remember watching an Inuit film last year (it was called something like The Runner) and I kept thinking, "Damn, that Inuit language sounds so like Japanese." It certainly sounded like Japanese but none of the words made any sense. It was a really good film but as I watched it I kept thinking, "Come on, say a word that's the same in both Inuit and Japanese." I'd nearly given up when some two-thirds of the way through the film the Inuit actor said ani - which means 'elder brother' in both languages "
The film was Atarnajut , it has been suggested that the Inuit and Siberians were the original paleolithic peoples of Southern Europe who moved North when the climate got too warm for them.
