Not illustrated. 1887 Excerpt: ...explanation, and I think that the comparison which I ventured--however imperfectly--to draw, in 1883, between the Altaic and the Egyptian is justified by the discoveries of others. We may, therefore, pause to inquire whether any other traces of connection are discernible between Egyptians and Akkadians. The Egyptian language does not show us any such connection. It is one of a. family of African and Asiatic tongues which These emblems are Semitic, and though there is, I think, certainly a connection, it seems to me that they are planetary, and represent the 'houses' and the planetary and zodiacal animals. I have some time since identified with the planets those emblems which occur above the heads of Assyrian kings by aid of M. Pereties plaque. M.

The Galla and the Kordofan dialects, the Kabyle, Algerian, Tuarik, and the old language of the Canary Islands, are all akin to Egyptian; and perhaps the Madagascar tongue, though corrupted by the Malay. The Somali, Dankali, Bishari, Agao, Chaho, Billin, and Kunama tongues are also compared by Professor de Lacouperie.
