The second Edition of a small Vocabulary, English
and Malay, being expended, it was deemed desirable
to publish another, to which the Bugis is now added.
The Bugis part of the work has been lying by in
M.S.S. for several years, and it would perhaps not
have appeared in print now, but, for the kind offer of
a friend to contribute Thirty Dollars towards printing
it; and in the hope that asufficient number maybe
sold: to pay the Press, and at the same time, give the
Public some idea of a language hitherto almost un-
known it is now published, together with an Alpha
bet of the language.
The Malay, and next to that, the Bugis, are the
two principal spoken languages in these parts. With
a knowledge of these two, a person may hold inter-
course with the different Tribes who occupy the Sea
Coasts on all the Islands of the Indian Archipelago.
The pronunciation is given in Roman Characters, as
near as it is possible to convey the sounds of Indian
words; according to a scheme of orthography added-
here,
The principal words are collected under separate
heads, so that the reader bas only to wake himself ac-
quainted with the contents placed at the end of the
book, aud he will be able as easily to find a word
under the subject to which it belongs, as under the
letter with which the word commences
The Adjectives and Verbs, being more numerous
than any other class of words have, for that reason,
“been put ix Alphabetical qrder.
