Request for specimens of other Languages, 

 The foregoing table is to be regarded only as the commencement of a 

 series of comparisons, which it is desirable to extend to as many languages 

 as practicable. We would therefore request persons residing in various 

 parts of India, or in other countries, to furnish specimens of such dialects 

 as are spoken in their respective neighbourhoods, including all the words 

 given in the table, by which means a general comparison may be readily 

 made. In addition to the list of words, it is desirable to obtain informa- 

 tion on the following points : 



1, Within what geographical limits the language described is spoken. 



2. The estimated number of people who speak it. 



S. The account they give of their own origin, and any circumstances
