In re gard to the peculiar sound of that language as I heard it here spoken, I can only say that there is not the slightest analogy between it and the pueblo idioms in New Mexico. This ma...y appear to be a superfluous or even trivial remark ; but we should never forget that while the grammatical construction of languages has always been the object of study, the man ner of the formation of sound is yet but imperfectly known. In the present case the question arises as to which was the original mode of speech ; whether the clear-sounding, vocal, Italian-like enunciation of the plateaus, or the roughly aspi rated, almost guttural tones of the mountains. Is the former a result of higher development, or the latter a consequence of isolation and decay ?
