CHAPTER XII.
The language of the Vril-ya is peculiarly interesting, because it seems to me to exhibit with great clearness the traces of the three main transitions through which language passes in attaining to perfection of form.
One of the most illustrious of recent philologists, Max Muller, in arguing for the analogy between the strata of language and the strata of the earth, lays down this absolute dogma: "No language can, by any possibility, be inflectional without having passed through the agglutinative and isolating stratum.

No language can be agglutinative without clinging with its roots to the underlying stratum of isolation."-- 'On the Stratification of Language,' p.

20.
Taking then the Chinese language as the best existing type of the original isolating stratum, "as the faithful photograph of man in his leading-strings trying the muscles of his mind, groping his way, and so delighted with his first successful grasps that he repeats them again and again," (Max Muller, p.

3)--we have, in the language of the Vril-ya, still "clinging with its roots to the underlying stratum," the evidences of the original isolation.

It abounds in monosyllables, which are the foundations of the language.
