The Bengalee may be considered as more nearly allied to the Sungskrita than any of the other languages of India; four fifths of the words in the languages are pure Sungskrita. Words may be compounded with such facility, and to so great an extent in Bengalee, as to convey ideas with the utmost precision, a circumstance which adds much to its copiousness. On these, and many other accounts, it may be esteemed one of he most expressive and elegant languages of the East.
