The term Japhetites (in adjective form Japhethitic or Japhetic) refers to the descendents of Japheth, one of the three sons of Noah in the Bible. The term has been adopted in ethnological and linguistic writing from the 18th to the 20th century but has now become obsolete. In medieval ethnography, the world was believed to have been divided into three large-scale groupings, corresponding to the three classical continents: the Semitic peoples of Asia, the Hamitic peoples of Africa and the Japhetic peoples of Europe.

  • The term Japhetites (in adjective form Japhethitic or Japhetic) refers to the descendents of Japheth, one of the three sons of Noah in the Bible. The term has been adopted in ethnological and linguistic writing from the 18th to the 20th century but has now become obsolete. In medieval ethnography, the world was believed to have been divided into three large-scale groupings, corresponding to the three classical continents: the Semitic peoples of Asia, the Hamitic peoples of Africa and the Japhetic peoples of Europe. The term has been used in modern times as a designation in physical anthropology, ethnography and comparative linguistics. In anthropology, it was used in a racial sense for white people (the Caucasian race). In linguistics, it was used as a term for the Indo-European languages. These uses are now mostly obsolete. In a linguistic sense, only the Semitic peoples form a well-defined family. The Indo-European group is no longer known as "Japhetite", and the Hamitic group is now recognized as paraphyletic within the Afro-Asiatic family. Among Muslim historians, Japheth is usually regarded as the ancestor of the Gog and Magog tribes, and, at times, of the Turks, Khazars, and Slavs. (en)
  • Les Japhétites seraient, selon la Table des peuples, les descendants de Japhet, l'un des trois fils de Noé. Ils constitueraient donc une lignée parallèle aux Sémites (descendants de Sem) et aux Hamites (descendants de Cham). Dans la vision ethnographique médiévale, le monde était divisé en trois grandes régions, chacune peuplée majoritairement par une « race » : les Japhétites en Europe, les Sémites en Asie et les Hamites en Afrique.Durant l'époque moderne, le terme japhétique a souvent été utilisé dans le sens de peuple blanc (la race caucasienne ou race aryenne). Ce terme serait linguistiquement lié à la langue indo-européenne. (fr)
  • O termo jafetita (adjetivo jafético) refere-se aos descendentes de Jafé, um dos três filhos de Noé na Bíblia. O termo foi adotado na etnologia e linguística dos séculos XVIII ao XX, mas caiu em desuso nos dias atuais, sendo geralmente substituído pelo termo indo-europeu. Na etnografia medieval, acreditava-se que o mundo estava dividido em três agrupamentos de grande escala, correspondentes aos três continentes clássicos: os povos semitas da Ásia, os povos camitas da África e os povos jaféticos da Europa. O termo tem sido usado nos tempos modernos como uma designação em antropologia física, etnografia e linguística comparada. Na antropologia, era usado no sentido racial para pessoas brancas (a raça caucasiana). Na linguística, foi usado como um termo para as línguas indo-europeias. Esses usos são agora em sua maioria obsoletos. Em um sentido linguístico, apenas os povos semíticos formam uma família bem definida. O grupo indo-europeu não é mais conhecido como "jafetita", e o grupo camítico agora é reconhecido como parafilético dentro da família afro-asiática. Entre os historiadores muçulmanos, Jafé é geralmente considerado o ancestral das tribos Gogue e Magogue e, às vezes, dos turcos, cazares e eslavos. (pt)
  • Яфетиды — потомки библейского Иафета, одного из трёх сыновей Ноя. К ним обычно причисляют народы белой расы из Европы и Западной Азии (индоевропейские и сино-кавказские народы). Библия даёт подробную детализацию только о потомках Гомера (локализованы на юге и севере Большого Кавказа) и Иавана (Малая Азия и Греция). (ru)
