No, there's only one situation where the tookee is mentioned in the bible and that's the story of Solomon's mines. I believe that Solomon being the wisest man ever was able to use his wisdom to know where the purest gold was in the world and to know where the best wood for musical instruments was in the world. That of course is in South America where both the best gold in the world existed and where the best wood for instruments was located, the Brazilian Redwood. It's conceivable that if the returning ships used the currents of the Atlantic to return that they could've picked up some North American turkeys and the ancient name was passed down almost in it's pure pronunciation. The bible says that it was these gold mining ships that brought this wood back and that's the only time in the history of Israel and Judah that that this kind of wood was in Israel, so it couldn't have been from any tree nearby, relatively speaking. I believe Turkey is named after some other work, pronounced Turkyea or something like that in ancient times. I don't see the importance of it. You said the word turkey had it's roots in Turkey. That would make sense since that's one of the routes a segment of the tribes took to Europe, although most went through the Caucusus. The bird turkey and the country Turkey are two different words obviously. We spell them the same as a fluke of our language.
BTW, it wasn't called Turkey back then.
I didn't mention the obvious, I guess I should've for you.
Except that the Celts didn't speak Latin, they spoke languages related to Latin. Some still speak the old Celtic languages, and the rest speak Germanic languages, which are also related to but also obviously aren't Latin. So it would be like speaking Dutch because English is the predominent language. BTW, Latin wasn't the dominent language yet when the Celts showed up.
All the modern languages are similar. If not for modern media and modern transportation, the Cajuns would probably have their own language by now different from the rest of America.
If you don't want to believe that's fine with me. It's bible prophecy anyway. The bible says that Israel will not know who they are in the last days. I like discussing this with like-minded people. If you don't have an ear for it, then you don't have an ear for it.
Intriguing...I like it! (Solomon's mines were probably in Peru)
Uh huh. Where's the Anglo-Saxon version of the word "turkey"?

No, Dictionary.com said the settlers named it after the country because they mistakenly thought the bird also lived there. Remember, turkeys can be called turkey buzzards. Since "buzzard" is unpleasant, it's usually dropped. It's similar to Jerusalem artichokes (which also have nothing to do with the place they're named for, it's a mangling of "girasole").
Turkey, the country, is named after the Turks, who were originally from Central Asia. There are still Turks there; Turkmenistan is one of the fomerly Soviet countries.

Eh? Chinese is similar to Russian?

They do have their own language, a dialect of French. I think it's still around.
