This striking fact ought alone, to be sufficient to overthrow the hypothesis of all the languages from Madagascar to Easter island being essentially one tongue, and in support of which a supposed universality of the numerals has been adduced as a principal argument. The numerals of Ternate and Tambora have never extended beyond the spots where they originated; but it is easy to conceive that had the localities of the people of Tambora and Ternate been exchanged for those of the Malays and Javanese, that is, if they had been planted in great and fertile islands where there was room for development, instead of small or barren ones, in which their energies were cramped, we might have seen their numerals widely disseminated instead of the Malayan. I proceed with the enquiry, as it regards the Philippine laninfiuenceofthe guages for wh...
