Ganges, has
different names for some things; and inflections of some words different
to the western ones spoken about the Indus: There is, besides, a third,
varying from both these, viz: the Surat dialect, which has a number of
Malabar, and other words mixed with it. To this must be added, that in
the Hindostan, as well as in every other language, there are often
several names for the same thing.

The particular dialect bearing the closest affinity to the Gypsey
language, as will appear hereafter, is the western; and perhaps more
especially that of Surat. With respect to the construction and
inflections of the two languages, they are evidently the same. In that
of Hindostan, every word ending in j is feminine, all the rest masculine;
the Gypsey is the same. That makes the inflections entirely by the
article, adding it at the end of the word. The Gypsey language proceeds
exactly in the same manner
