From Chris:
One source I've read -- I can't recall title or author offhand (it was in an
English-language linguistics book I browsed a bit in an Osaka bookstore) --
claims that all OVS natlangs in existence claim their origins to one
specific region of South America. (This one apparently fits that same
pattern.) Apparently there are several distinct, non-related language
families that somehow all converged on OVS word order. And only in that
region of the world.
Fascinating.
