In this, as in so much else, you are simply inaccurate. I studied historical linguistics in college and never once heard "caananite" as a lingustic term. If you have examples to the contrary, please cite them. Little is known from the archeological record of the Philistines (they disappeared as a distict people by about 700 - 800 BCE), but the most widely held view is that they came as part of the Late Bronze age migrations and were indo-europeans, like the hittites. Again, if you have a respectable source to the contrary, please cite it. These are not partisan issues (if one stays away from the Pal agitprop claiming that they alone are direct descendents of the caananites nad the philistines), but it is still very possible to mistate the currently held scholarly views. Which you just have.
