One of the assumptions behind the Borneo hypothesis is Sapir's model (1968) claiming that in the quest for a linguistic homeland, the area with the larg est genetic diversity in relation to its size is most likely to be the homeland. This model is useful, all things being equal; but in practice other factors often interfere with it. If one compares Europe to the situation in the Americas, where the spread of Spanish, English, Portuguese and French is relatively recent, the model seems to make sense: the dialect diversity within each of these four languages is as a rule much less (and of less genetic depth) than it is in Europe.
