LANGUAGES OF SOUTHERN INDO-CHINA. 



19 



them are found to occur again in some distant island dialect 

 of the Malayan family. 



I propose to give a few instances to show the forms which 

 such words assume in Cambojan and Peguan, but before doing 

 so, I may as well point out that Indian loan-words, as to the 

 origin and derivation of which there can be no doubt, undergo 

 a similar mutilation in the Southern Indo-Chinese languages so 

 that an analysis of the changes exhibited by these Indian words 

 will serve as a guide in identifying the Malayan words to be 

 found in those languages, which are often hardly recognizable 

 without some such help. 



The following are examples of words of Indian origin com- 

 mon to Malay and these two languages: I give the Malay, 

 rather than the Sanskrit form, because the former is more 

 familiar to those who know Malay.
