  Africa 
  and 
  Asia, 
  tliougii 
  many 
  tribes 
  of 
  both 
  have 
  in 
  these 
  historic 
  times 
  

   lost 
  their 
  idioms 
  and 
  phonology, 
  but 
  not 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  their 
  languages. 
  

  

  We 
  may 
  now 
  come 
  to 
  the 
  comparison 
  of 
  words 
  collected 
  from 
  the 
  

   various 
  som-ces 
  already 
  stated,* 
  and 
  in 
  commenting 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  it 
  is 
  hardly 
  

   necessary 
  for 
  me 
  to 
  remark 
  that 
  I 
  do 
  so 
  under 
  the 
  conviction 
  that 
  the 
  

   insular 
  races 
  were 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  continental, 
  but 
  I 
  am 
  open 
  to 
  enquiry 
  

   from 
  what 
  continent 
  or 
  portion 
  of 
  continent 
  :

  The 
  glossarial 
  indication 
  would 
  denote 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  Malagasi 
  

   and 
  Malay 
  immediate 
  derivation 
  from 
  Telugu 
  in 
  South 
  India, 
  with 
  

   affinity 
  to 
  Shan 
  in 
  ludo-China. 
  In 
  the 
  case 
  of
