Studies in South American Native Languages: From Mss, and Rare Printed Sources (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from Studies in South American Native Languages: From Mss, and Rare Printed Sources
The papers which follow were contributed to the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society in the early months of 1892. Most of them are based upon unpublished manuscripts in European and American Libraries, which I have had the opportunity of examining within the last year. They include material on at least four linguistic stocks, hitherto wholly unknown to students of this interesting branch of anthropologic science.
I have added two studies of Mexican languages, one with South American affinities, the other apparently standing isolated among all American languages and strikingly simple in construction.
