Othomi or Otomi.
American: monosyllabic dialect spoken in Sonora, to the frontier of Guatemala, 24° N.L. to 16° W.L. Grammar and Vocabulary, Paris, 1863.
⁂ Much has been written of this language on the strength of its real or supposed monosyllabic structure—indeed, it has been compared with the Chinese. It is, however, truly American, differing, so far as it indeed does differ from the others, in the fact of its agglutination being either less, or less represented in the grammars and vocabularies. See Grammar by Piccolomini, Rome, 1841. R. G. L.
Oto, Otouez.
American: Sioux dialect of the Platte R. Vocaby. in Long’s “Expedition,” &c., Philadelphia, 1822.
