On The Polynesian: Or East-Insular Languages is a book written by William Marsden and originally published in 1834. The book is a comprehensive study of the Polynesian languages spoken in the East-Insular region, including languages such as Hawaiian, Maori, Samoan, and Tahitian. Marsden was a British scholar who had spent several years in the East-Indies and had a deep interest in linguistics. In this book, he provides a detailed analysis of the grammar, vocabulary, and syntax of the Polynesian languages, as well as their historical development and cultural significance. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the Polynesian languages. Marsden begins by providing an overview of the region and its various languages, before delving into the specifics of each language. He examines the sounds and letters of the languages, as well as their grammatical structures and sentence formation. In addition to his linguistic analysis, Marsden also provides insights into the cultural and historical context of the Polynesian languages. He discusses the origins of the Polynesian people and their migration patterns, as well as their social customs and religious beliefs. Overall, On The Polynesian: Or East-Insular Languages is a valuable resource for anyone interested in linguistics, Polynesian culture, or the history of the East-Insular region. Marsden’s detailed analysis and comprehensive approach make this book an important contribution to the field of linguistics and a fascinating read for anyone interested in the Polynesian languages and their cultural significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
