A Vocabulary of the Language op the Moghal Aimaks. 

 Introduction. 

 The Morals are one of the four Aimaks ; they inhabit the country 

 of Baghrcm and Mai igdn, the former is subject to Candahar the 

 latter to Herat. 



A story is told that one of the kings of Persia sent for a Moghal 

 Aimak, to inquire the structure of his language, and was so disgusted 

 with the discordancy of its sounds that he ordered the man to be killed. 

 While the executioners were preparing to strike off his head, the 

 king, to give the culprit a last chance, inquired the Mog-^ali for 

 i( face." The man answered " niir" which in Persian signifies " light :" 

 this lucky answer it is said saved the credit of the Mo^al language 

 and the head of its propounder or lecturer.
