- The "isles of the Gentiles" were apparently populated by either the sons of Javan, or all the posterity of Japheth - it isn't very clear.
- These people were regarded as Gentiles. Obviously, they weren't descendants of Shem, so they were not semitic.
- Although the origin of the naming of the island of Java is unclear, I can't help believing that it may have been among the islands populated by the sons of Javan. Just speculation, though.
