I. Monosyllabic Speech : that of the first approxiinately fully developed

human beiugs at the close of the Third Root-Race, the "goldeu- coloared," yellow-complexioned men, after their separation into sexes, and the full awakening of their minds. Before that, they communi- cated through what would now be called "thought-transference." though, with the exception of the Race called the "Sons of Will and Yoga" — the first in whom the "Sons of Wisdom" had incarnated — thought was but very little developed in nascent physical man, and never soared above a low terrestrial level. Their physical bodies belonging to the Earth, their Monads remained on a higher plane altogether. Language could not be well developed before the full aquisition and development of their reasoning faculties. This mono- syllabic speech was the vowel-parent, so to speak, of the monosyllabic Imiguages mixed with hard consonants, still in use amongst the yellow races which are known to the Anthropologist.*
n. A^utinative speech : these linguistic characteristics developed in!o the agglutinative languages. The latter were spoken by some AUautean races, while other parent stocks of the Fourth Race pre- served the mother-language And as languages have their cyclic evo- lolion, their childhood, purity, growth, /it// tn/o matter, admixture with other languages, maturity, decay and finally death.f so the primitive speech of the most civilized Atlantean races — that language, which is mened to as Rakshasi Bhisha, in old Sanskrit works — decayed and almost died out. While the " cream " of the Fourth Race gravitated raore and more toward the apex of physical and intellectual evolution, ■ thus leaving as an heirloom to the nascent Fifth (the Aryan) Race the injectional, highly developed languages, the agglutinative decayed and
