Their language was "agglutinative monosyllabic," with mingled Nigritic and Semitic characteristics.

Chinese belongs to the former class of languages, the "monosyllabic," Turkish to the latter, the "agglutinative."

Agglutinative languages do not often possess special adverbial endings.

By the theory the monosyllabic is lower than the agglutinative, and inherently less useful.
