Accordingly we are not surprized to find some radical words nearly the same in all the existing languages of Europe. See Jackson's Chronological Antiquities, vol. 3, with Lhuyd, Geblin, and others. To illustrate what I have advanced, respecting the first peopling of the world, and the derivation of most European languages from one mother tongue, I will here insert some remarks from Rowland's Mona Antiqua Restaurata, p. 261, with a table of words, evidently of Hebrew original. "_A_ TABLE, _shewing the Affinity and near Resemblance, both in Sound and Signification, of many Words of the Ancient Languages of Europe with the Original Hebrew Tongue_. "For the better understanding of the parallels of this following table, it is to be observed, that letters of one and the same organ are of common use in the pronunciation of words of different languages--as for example, _M_, _B_, _V_, _F_, _P_, are labials: _T_, _D_, _S_, are dentals: _G_, _Ch_, _H_, _K_, _C_, are gutturals--and therefore if the Hebrew word or sound begins with, or is made of, any one of the labials, any of the rest of the same organ will answer it in the derivative languages. The same is to be observed in using the dental and the guttural letters. For in tracing out the origin of words, we are more to regard the sound of them than their literal form and composition; wherein we find words very often, by the humors and fancy of people, transposed and altered from their native sounds, and yet in their signification they very well fit their original patterns. I shall only exemplify in the letters _M_, _B_, and _V_, which are of one organ, that is, are formed by one instrument, the lip; and therefore are promiscuously used the one for the other, in pronouncing words of one language in another. The Hebrew _B_ is generally pronounced as a _V_ consonant. And the Irish also, most commonly in the middle of a word, pronounce _M_ as a _V_; as we find the ancient Britons to have made use of _V_, or rather _F_, which they pronounce as _V_, for _M_ and _B_ in many Latin words; as, LATIN.
