Dr. Hyde Claike finds the connecting link between Sumerian 

 and Ajmara among the Cambodians, who call themselves Kammer 

 or Khmer ; but in this I am not able to follow him. The Cam- 

 bodian vocabulary in my possession shews no relationship to 

 Aymara, Berber or Celtic. This may be the ftuilt of the vocabu- 

 lary, which certainly is far from extensive. But, on the other 

 hand, with a much smaller vocabulary, I find a remarkable col- 

 lection of Sumerian words in the language of the Ainos, who, 

 whether they relate to the Humeri whom the older geographers 

 place in this region, and who are said to have Mantchu relation- 

 ships, 6r not, may fitly connect with Amor and Aymara by their 

 seat, the river Amoor. The Berber analogies are very striking.
