Résumé anglais Jean ROUSSEAU: R. RA8K (1 787-1832) et la transcription des langues amérindiennes -une lettre inédite à J. Pickering. The basis for this article is a hitherto unpublished letter from Rasmus Rask (1787-1832) to the Americanist John Pickering (17771846), bearing the date 29th October 1831. It is to be found in the twelfth volume of John Pickering's Papers in John Pickering House, Salem. The letter deals with the problem of transcribing the sounds of aIl the languages of the world into the Latin alphabet. Rask com pares his systems for transcribing, drawn up more particularly for the European and Asian languages, with the one put forward by Pickering for the Amerindian languages. In the numerous notes the editor provides a running commentary of the text, relating how it came to be written and giving a detailed analysis of the debate on transcription initiated by Sir William Jones for the Asian languages.
