Аннотация: perative); but it is not ngape memp==I strike, but memrpin ap-I striking.I think it probable that the aboriginal languages may be divided into two classes.The aborigines evidently belong to two races-one like the Eastern Polynesians, and the other like the Western, or Melanesians.One race has straight hair and a lighter complexion; the other has curly hair, and is darker.And perhaps the characteristic of the languages of the former race may be monosyllabic pronouns, and of the latter race polysyllabic pronouns.This would correspond with the distinction which exists between the same parts of speech in Polynesia and Melanesia.It will be observed that there are many omissions in some of the lists of words.This arises from the persons who collected them not having ascertained the words for those omitted.And I may remark that the omissions of writers of vocabularies are often very unaccountable.Words of the commonest kind are omitted.For instance, Meyer, in his vocabulary of the Encounter Bay dialect of the Narrinyeri, has omitted the word for " small", muralappi, and yet he evidently understood the language well.As it may be desirable to give a sketch of the grammar of an aboriginal language, I proceed to append some account of the grammar of the language of the Narrinyeri.1.This language is called Yarildewallin. 2.
