Talk:Rasmus Rask

huh?
In paragraph 4 is in which he raced the affinity correct? Perhaps the verb ought to be raised? &mdash; Hippietrail 03:05, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I don't understand what is the intended meaning of this sentence at all. 130.225.143.51 11:44, 29 September 2005 (UTC)


 * It's a misprint for "traced". And the whole article is practically word-for-word from the Encyc. Britt. 11th ed. (including the clause with "traced"). Alsihler 19:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

"A Dissertation on the Authenticity of the Zend Language" (1821)
The section 'Travel to India and Ceylon' mentions a "A Dissertation on the Authenticity of the Zend Language" (1821). There is none. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, it should be in Transactions of the Literary Society of Bombay (vol. III), which is actually from 1823 and contains no paper by Rask. There is a letter from Rask to the LSB President though, reacting to a paper in vol. II, later published in Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society 3:3 (1834), pp. 524-540 and covering the same ground as Rask's 1826 tract Om Zendsprogets og Zendavestas Ælde og Ægthed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.93.227.129 (talk) 12:56, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
