Note 007
Chalcocondyles, a competent judge, affirms the
identity of the language of the Dalmatians, Bosnians,
Servians, Bulgarians, Poles, (de Rebus Turcicis, l. x. p.
283,) and elsewhere of the Bohemians, (l. ii. p. 38.) The
same author has marked the separate idiom of the Hungarians.
Note by the Rev. H. H. Milman 1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised):
The Slavonian languages are no doubt Indo-European,
though an original branch of that great family,
comprehending the various dialects named by Gibbon and
others. Shafarik, t. 33.
