Fragment On The Araguas Of Brazil, 1519.
As early as 1519, Pigafetta collected a dozen words of the Brazilian Language; which are quite different from the _Tupi_; but very akin to the Haytian. Altho" he does not name the tribe he visited, they must have been _Araguas_, who are thus traced to the _Aruac_ Stock. This great nation was still further extended; since the Patagons or _Tinguis_, the Chiquitos or _Taos_, and perhaps the _Charruas_ belonged to it, as I shall show elsewhere. Meantime adding some words from Cabot & Vespucci, we have 17 Araguas words, whereof 14 are comparable with the Haytian, offering 10 affinities, which gives 72 per cent of mutual a.n.a.logy, much more than with the _Cairi_.
