A comparison of this vocabulary with that of the Radack language, given in the 

 Appendix to Kotzebue's first Voyage, leaves no room for doubt that the natives of Mille, 

 though differing in some of their customs from the inhabitants of the northern islands, are 

 yet of the same stock, and speak the same tongue. The difference in the orthography of 

 the words is no greater than would naturally arise from the different circumstances under 

 which the two were made.
