It may be observed, that the Cochinchinese have intro- 
duced the consonants J^, J), and R, which they pronounce 
without the least difficulty, but a Chinese cannot, by any ex- 
ertion, articulate a syllable into which one of these enters. In 
the construction of phrases there is also a considerable difference 
between the two languages. Informing the plural of the personal 
pronouns, the Chinese make use of the syllable miien, many, aSj. 
But the Cochinchinese employ the syllable chung, all^ as, 
thou, he.. 
•ngo-muen, nc-7nuen^ ta-onuen, 
we, ye, they. 
hai, no, 
thou, he. 
chmig-tooi, chung-bai, chung-no, 
we, ye, they.
