Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oceanic Languages: Their Grammatical Structure, Vocabulary, and Origin
This work contains a Grammar and complete Dictionary of the language of Efate, New Hebrides, which is a typical specimen of the Oceanic languages which are spoken by fifty millions, or one-thirtieth, of the human race in islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, extending over two hundred degrees of longitude.
It contains also a Comparative Grammar, and, to a sufficient extent, a Comparative Vocabulary of these languages, together with the evidence of their Arabian origin; thus adding these fifty millions to those previously known as Semitic speakers, as, one hundred years ago, the many millions (now in India were, by similar evidence, added to those previously known as Aryan (european) speakers.
