Philologists compare cognates in works by William Jones (philologist), Friedrich von Schlegel, and modern lexicographers from institutions such as the British Museum and the Asiatic Society. Comparative linguistics traces possible derivations related to terms documented in manuscripts preserved at libraries like the Bodleian Library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the Russian State Library.
