Ii. Pp. 62, 63. 232 ANTIQUITY AND UNITY OF With such evidences before us of the susceptibility of language to change, we have no need to resort to the theory of a plurality of origin to account for all the diversities now existing in human speech. Growth alone is sufficient to have originated the differing characteristics of the three leading fami- lies. If we suppose that the ancestors of the Chi- nese, for instance, and the other tribes of Eastern Asia, departed from the original abodes at a ...peri- od when language was still monosyllabic, we are enabled to see that this archaic type of speech should have prevailed and been perpetuated among them. This principle is distinctly recognized by all the leading philologists, though perhaps not to the ex- tent which facts would warrant. Bunsen refers to it in numerous instances in explaining the differ- ences between groups of dialects. Miiller, upon this ground, attempts to show the relative ages of the Turanian races.
