The xMandingo is not one of those African languages which have been 
separated from the rest by any, real or supposed, broad line of demaratioD.

laticuages, rid. supr. All that was known of cither to Adelung v/ts the Idw? 
numerds by Park. At present the Senegal vocabularies supply us wilhi 
long vocabulary of each. ... i, 
the least that can be said of (hese two languages is that they are mnrb more 
alike to each other than to any other pair in the tables; and this likcnts. 
seems extended to the inflectional portions of their words. Lest thmsbouw 
seem an insufficient reason for placing them in the same group ^ther tbw 
for treating them as languages of separate eln.sses, it should be remembem 
that in the parts in question not less than five* other languages, unknowu to 
us by specimens, are spoken; and that the evidence of these may erea c 
make good the inconclusive part of the present arrangement. It is, liowew, 
quite provisional. , ,

IV. From Capo Mesurado to the Gaboon Kiver, immediately to the noil
