Thomson used linguistic comparison to argue that remnants of the language of an ancient race of South India can be traced in the languages spoken in Madagascar, the Malay Archipelago, Polynesia and New Zealand. By comparing the languages spoken in these regions, he demonstrated that, though different, there were similarities in the sound and meaning of certain words. For example, "dua" (two) in Malay; was "daua" in Mindanoa; "do" in Hindi and "rua" in Maori.
