Guyana Creole and West India 
Creole, are the most remarkable in 
America. Another dialect filled 
with Bengali and Hindustani words 
is also forming in the East Indies. 
A complete comparison of the old 
and modern English has not yet been 
given. A few striking examples will 
lere be inserted as a specimen of 
disparity.

As late as the year 1555, we find 
the English language very different 
from the actual; at least in orthogra- 
phy, for instance—

This old English is supposed to 
have sprung from the amalgamation 
of 3 languages, 1. British-Celtic. 
2. Anglo-Saxon and Norman-French, 
between the years 1000 and 1200 
This has been well proved by many 
and I take it for granted. 
But the successive parents and 
the genealogies of the Celtic, Saxon 
and Norman, are not sowell under- 
stood. Yet through their successive 
and gradual dialects springing from 
each other, are to be traced the ano- 
malies and affinities of all the mo- 
dern languages of Western Europe. 
By this investigation it is found 
that these 3 parents of the English, 
instead of being remote and distinct 
languages, were themselves brothers, 
sprung from a common primitive 
source, having undergone fluctua- 
tions and changes every 500 or 1000 
years. For instance, the Latin of 
the time of Romulus was quite a 
different language from that spoken 
in the time of Augustus, altho’ this 
was the child of the former, this of 
the Ausonian, &c. 
The following table will illustrate 
this fact, and the subsequent re- 
marks prove it. 
I. Old English sprung partly from 
the British Celtic. 
2d Step. British Celtic of Great 
Brittain sprung from the Celtic of 
West Europe,

ny* 
the 
3d Step. The Saxon from 
Teutonic or Gothic of Europe. 
4th Step. The Teutonic from the 
Getic of East Europe. 
5th Step. The Getic from the Ti- 
rasorTharaca of West Asia. (Thra- 
cians of the Greeks.) 
6th Step. The Tiras from the 
Cutic or Saca of Central Asia, 
called Scythian by the Greeks. 
7th Step. The Saca was a branch 
of the Sanscrit! 
III. Source. Old English partly 
sprung from the Norman French. 
2d Step. The Norman French was 
sprung from the Romanic of France. 
3d Step. The Romanic from the
