It is singular that this uncouth 
language has six analogies f out 
of £4 with the English, by pri- 
mitive connection, equal to £5 per 
cent* It is therefore Asiatic like 
the Saca or old Saxon. 
I am at a loss to refer it to any 
group of American languages, I 
had put it among the Wakash or 
Nutka group in my table; but it 
is widely separated from it. New 
to science as well as the next. 
Of the Chinuc I have collec- 
ted 33 words from Cox, Lew- 
is, and other sources. Cox calls 
it unutterable and says it lacks

The decimals I have in two di- 
alects. 
1 Ect, Icht 
2 Moxt, Makust 
3 Clunc, Thlown 
4 Uct, Lakut 
5 Quanim, quanum 
6 Tuckum, Tackut

8 Stutkin, Stuktekan 
9 Quayels, Quayust 
10 Taitlelum, Italilum. 
The 4 marks f indicate 4 in 33 
of analogy with the English, 
equal to 1£ per cent. 
3 words, man, 9 and 10 have 
a slight analogy with the Cho- 
punish out of 9 in the two lists, 
which gives 33 per cent, of ana- 
logy. 
North of the Chinuc and Oho- 
punish are found the Wakash and 
Atnah tribes and languages, the 
last has many dialects connected 
with thewestern Lenilenap group 
and it appears that both the Chi- 
nuc and Chopunish have more 
analogies with them than with 
the Wacash; the word man is an 
instance and proof of it. 
In the Wacash the numbers 
have some slight affinities with 
those of the Onguys and Wiyan- 
dots of the East, while in the 
Chinuc and the others, these de- 
cimals resemble the Shawani 
and other Eastern Leniletiap Di- 
alects. Examples. 
Musqnaki. 1 Nekot, 4 Kofc- 
wauskik, 5. Kotwauswa, 9. Sha- 
unk. 4 in 10 or 40 per cent with 
Chinuc. 
Shawani . 1 Nguti, 5. Ninlan- 
wi, 6. Kukatswi, 10. Matatswi, 
also 40 per cent. 
Mohegan. 1 XJgwito, 5. Niinon 
6 Ugwitus, 10 Netaumit also 40 
per cent. 
I conclude therefore that the 
Chinuc (and perhaps the Cho- 
punish also) is one of the Lenapi- 
an languages of the West, one 
of the fragments of that vast 
ancient nation that has spread 
from the Pacific to the Atlantic 
Ocean in £00 Nations and tribes. 
The Ainus of Eastern Asia ap- 
pear to be their ancestors.
