Ficure 9.—Areas of language groups. (After Louis H. Gray.) They mark the extent of heavy migrations. 
The Indo-Huropeans dominated northern India and even Burma so thoroughly as to leave their language. The 
original Dravidian speech holds the south of India and an island of Munda-Mond-Khmer (Indo-Chinese) holds 
out in the Ganges Valley. The Sino-Tibetan has pushed down and crowded Munda-Mond-Khmer into a 
corner. 
The Turco-Mongol-Tungus group has pushed the Japanese group into corners on the east and cut the Indo-Huro- 
pean areas in two on the west. The Hamite-Semite has a crowded Indo-European in the Mesopotamian area. 
The Arabs left Islam in Ivan but not their language. 
The Indo-European block holds nearly all Europe except the Finnish area, the Hungarian remnant, and the 
Basque and Caucasus areas. The Caucasus Mountain area seems to have been an island of human refuge 
in the sea of migrations. It contains much linguistic and human flotsam and jetsam. It is said that 72 
languages are spoken in Tiflis.
