- Response to hypothesis: 63 - "The current diversity of Native American tongues would not exist if they were all the descendants of ancient Hebrews"

- Response to hypothesis: 91 - "there are a large number of separate language stocks in America that show very little relationship to each other"
- Response to hypothesis: 91- "it would take a long time...to develop these dialects and stocks where the development is conceived of as arising from a common source of origin"
- Response to hypothesis: 91 - "there is no connection between the American languages and the language of any people of the Old World"
- Response to hypothesis: 92 - "the time limits named in the Book of Mormon...is not sufficient to allow of these divergencies into the American langauge stocks and their dialects"
- Response to hypothesis: 92 - "if there have been migrations from Asiatic, African, or European countries in the period from the destruction of the Nephites...then such immigrations were sufficient in volume or frequency, as to affect the language or culture of American peoples"
