See the related link for research into the possible settlement of Noah's sons after the Great flood. Japheth was the oldest, followed by Shem and Ham.

Answer:

In Noah's three sons [the three fathers whose families survived the global flood, and from whom the world was repopulated by man]... we can see the three main races of the future generations of man represented: the Negro, Ham; Caucasian, Shem; and Oriental, Japheth.

We're told that Japheth's descendants: "...became the maritime nations in various lands, each with a separate language." (Gen.10:5 LVB Living Bible)

The KJV says, same verse: "By these [Japheth's descendants] were the ISLES of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."

The NLT New Living Translation says: "Their descendants became the seafaring peoples in various lands, each tribe with its own language."

In other words... Japheth became the "Oriental" peoples throughout the world; Chinese, Mongols, Russians, Japanese, Koreans, etc.. People displaying Oriental characteristics throughout the Pacific ISLES [maritime; tribes of people bordering on the sea, whose lives and commerce depend upon the sea]... Tahiti, the Philippines, Hawaii, and a thousand other islands in that vast Pacific Ocean. Oriental traits are also evident in the Eskimo, the American Indian, Mexicans and South American peoples.

Do you call descendants of Noah's son Japheth Japhethites?

The location of the sons of Japheth is an important task of identifying the nations of the world and the blessings given to Japheth by God through Noah. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. From these the coastland peoples spread. These are the sons of Japheth in their lands, each with his own language, by their families, in their nations. When broadly referring to all the descendants of Japheth, yes, Japhethites is the correct term.
