Charles de Brosse : Histoire des Navigations aux Terres Australes

'From the vocabularies given in Le Maire's voyage (see Histoire des Navigations aux Terres Australes, tom. i. p. 410) it appears clearly that the languages given there as those of the Isles of Solomon and the Isle of Cocos are radically the identical language we met with, most words differing in little, but the greater number of consonants.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Banks      Print: Book
