ain. The Chinese Nations
are evidently Asiatic and primitive akin to the Tartars and Turks (the
modern Turans,) their language have the same inverse position, and
monosylabic[TN-22] structure. The idea of Harcourt to deem the Chinese
the real Semetic stock of Languages, is worthy of enquiry. He has proved
that the _Obri_ (Hebrew) was in reality a Hamite language, the posterity
of Abraham having adopted a dialect of the _Acuri_ (Assyrian) and
_Xnoni_ (Canaanit;)[TN-23] but the Arabic languages and nations, so akin
thereto must then also be Hamites! and the old Arabians alone were
Semites.
5.[TN-24] Meantime the Turanic or Japhetic nations and languages (IFH
meaning _widely spread_ is our Japhet) should be the real Turans and
Atlantes, including the Medians, Caucasians, Hindus, Pelagians,
Thracians, Slavonians, Goths, and nearly two thirds of the American
Nations, the most civilized and powerful of them. But it appears to me
that the Celts and Cantabrians were like the Etruscans and Phenicians of
Hamite Origin. It is strange that all the brown or black nations of
Africa, Asia and Oceania are also of similar descent.
7. In my work on the Ancient American Nations, may be seen which were
the oldest or earliest in America, and to which other nations elsewhere
they are most intimately connected. I have proved that two great nations
of America the _Aruac_ including the Haytians and tribes from Florida to
Patagonia, with the _Sekeh_ or old Chilians, having branches from Chili
to Brazil; were certainly very akin in language with the ancient Greeks
and Italians and Spaniards, or rather their ancestors the Pelagic, Oscan
and Cantabrian Nations.
8. The American Atlantes of North America (Talegas)[TN-25] the Tols and
Chontals of Anahuac and Central America, the Muyzcas of Tunca and Peru;
with the ancient Peruvians of mixt origin, were certainly the most
civilized nations of this continent, as their monuments prove it, and
their languages are of Japhetic or Turanic structure, having their major
affinities in Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Illyrians, Slavonians &c;
but some also with the African Atlantes or ancient and modern Lybians,
Getulians, Shellus _&_c.
9. The Guarani group of languages and nations in South America was most
widely spread from Guyana to Paraguay, and all over Brazil. It is quite
monosyllabic, with the Hamite or African structure, having its
affinities all over Africa, where hardly any except the _Qua_ or
