This is a difficulty. Noah's wife could not have three pregnancies all in Noah's 500th year. However, it is said that Noah was 600 when he went into the ark. His son, Shem begot Arphaxad when Shem was 100, two years after the flood. (Gen. 11: 10). This means Noah must have been 502, when Shem was born. Gen. 10: 21 calls Shem the "brother of Japheth the elder" in the NKJV. Some other translations say, “Shem the older brother of Japheth.” So, it is hard to determine the correct birth order. Gen. 9: 24 calls Ham, Noah’s “younger son” in the NKJV. Again, other translations call him the “youngest son.” This still doesn’t address the triplet question, though. Multiple births still emphasize birth order. A lot is made of Esau having the rights of the first-born, even though Jacob is his twin. What could be meant is that Noah was “about 500” when his three sons were born. But this seems a bit unsatisfactory, doesn’t it?
Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10
Japheth was the other brother, and the third of Noah's sons.
Oh honey, the Japanese are descended from Japheth, not Shem Ham. But let's be real, does it really matter where they came from? They're here now, making sushi and anime, and that's what really counts.
The Bible doe not say.No, but there are other scriptures that do.From the book of Jubilees:Wife of Noah - Emzara, daughter of Rake'el, son of MethuselahWife of Shem - SedeqetelebabWife of Ham - Ne'elatama'uk or Na'eltama'ukWife of Japheth - 'AdatanesesRecall the sons of Noah were the Patriarchs of the world's races. Shem married an oriental woman and moved to the Holy land, gave birth to the S(h)emites - Semitic races of the middle east. While Ham travelled to the south with his Ethiopian wife and raised his family in Egypt and northern Africa. Japheth's wife was Caucasian (from the Caucasus Mountains) and traveled north raised his family.
Ham is usually described as one of Noah's three sons, along with Shem and Japheth. He is often depicted as the youngest son.
Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10

No. The Bible only mentions the three sons in one sentence. It does not say that they were born as twins or triplets and the Bible is explicit when twins or triplets exist (see Jacob and Esau).
they are the sons of noah:
Japheth was the other brother, and the third of Noah's sons.
After the Great Flood, Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, settled in different regions. Shem settled in the Middle East, Ham settled in Africa, and Japheth settled in Europe and Asia.
Some would say 'Ham' is the middle or second son between Shem and Japheth.
