Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of English and American Literature It is necessary, first of all, without going into the nice ties of modern philological investigation, to place our mother-tongue in a general way. Three great ethnic and linguistic families must be recognized - the Semitic, the Indo - European, and the Allophylian (or Turanian.) The third of these is a mere aggregation of such races and languages as are neither Semitic nor indo-european. For a scientific classification of the languages formerly grouped as Allophylian, see Morris's Outlines of English Accidence.
