OF THE INDO-CHINESE NATIONS, 285 



hi this specimen, the Prakrit words are selected 

 from tiK" Manonuna Vritti ot B'haviaha, and the 

 Prdkritalaiikt'swurah of Vipya' Vinod'ha; the Bali 

 are taken at random from the Kumard-Bap, Chitam- 

 vaUy and H.i.'^avinan ; and the Zt.id, from the voca- 

 buhiries of AnqoilTil DU Perron, vvliose orthogra- 

 phy. Since I have not been able to procure the ori- 

 guial Z^nd, has been preserved, however inaccurate, 

 in preftrtnce to conjectural emendation; though I 

 am convinced that an orthography, more conform- 

 able to the oripMual, would render the connection of 

 Ztnd, witii its cognate dialects, oiore apparent.
