“Einsog Griska og Latína eru höfuðmálin í hinum svo nefnda þrakverska málsflokki, er í fornöld gekk fyrir sunnan Alpafjöll, á sama hátt er íslenzkan höfuðmál hins svo nefnda germanska þjóðflokks, er bjó fyrir norðan Alpafjöll.”
Just as Greece and Latin are the proto-languages in the so-called Thracian language family, which in antiquity ranged south of the Alps, is Icelandic in the same way the proto-language of the so-called Germanic people, which lived to the north of the Alps.
