the accidental coincidence of a few words, but the whole
vocabulary he produces, differs not so much from the common Hindostanie,
as provincial dialects of the same country do from each other.

"Grellmann, from a want of knowledge in the Hindostanie; as to its

and that of Hindostan to be the same, or very intimately connected with
each other.

termination from baba_,
_Father_.
