1858.] Notes of the Karen Language, 149 



The Vocabulary. 



The following vocabulary contains the words which have been 

 selected by Indian philologists to develope the affinities and differ- 

 ences of languages. In the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Ben- 

 gal, and in the Journal of the Indian Archipelago, Hodgson, Logan 

 and others have published the same words in all the known lan- 

 guages from Australia to Siberia, and from the Yellow Sea to the 

 Black. With these the Karen may now be compared in all its 

 known dialects. The couplets have been added occasionally, but to 

 have inserted them in every instance would have subserved no use- 

 ful purpose.
