I might continue this list, but I have given enough to show that all the Atlantean races once spoke the same language, and that the dispersion on the plains of Shinar signifies that breaking up of the tongues of one people under the operation of vast spaces of time.  Philology is yet in its infancy, and the time is not far distant when the identity of the languages of all the Noachic races will be as clearly established and as universally acknowledged as is now the identity, of the languages of the Aryan family of nations.

And precisely as recent research has demonstrated the relationship between Pekin and Babylon, so investigation in Central America has proved that there is a mysterious bond of union connecting the Chinese and one of the races of Mexico.  The resemblances are so great that Mr. Short ("North Americans of Antiquity,” p. 494) says, “There is no doubt that strong analogies exist between the Otomi and the Chinese.”  Senor Najera ("Dissertacion Sobre la lingua Othomi, Mexico,” pp. 87, 88) gives a list of words from which I quote the following:
