iking analogies in their respective idioms, seem to belong tothem. Tiie Esquimaux have from time immemorial extended over all the north of the NewWorld; while the sedentary Tchutchhis, who speak a language evidently related to theidioms of those American tribes, occupy only the extreme north-east of Asia. The Tcliutch-his we therefore consider as American colonies, and, following the precedent of Balbi,re-unite them as such to the other nations of America who form the family of the Es-quimaux. Under a perfect ethnographical arrangement, the languages of the Indo-Germanic nations,extending from Ceylon and the Ganges to the extreme west of Europe, and even to Ice-land, would form, not a single family, but rather an ethnographic kingdom divided into sixfamilies. In subsequent parts of this work, the languages of the earth will be considered as dividedinto five principal branches; the European, the Asiatic, the African, the American, andthe Oceanic. 286 MAP OF EUROPE—WEST part.
