Joseph Banks and James Cook compared words to determine that the languages on different Polynesian islands were almost completely the same, and that these languages were similar to those in Southeast Asia. For example Joseph lists Tahitian and New Zealand Maori words side by side to show that the languages are almost the same, then uses the same technique of comparing west until Southeast Asia.
