Water To Speak: There are many minorities that speak non-Chinese languages that belong neither to the Altaic nor the Sino-Tibetan group. These include the 14,000 Tajiks of southwestern Sinkiang, who speak an Iranic language of the Indo-European group, and the Wa and Puman people who speak an Austroasian language. The Wa and Puman are fierce tribesmen who live on both sides of the Yiinnan-Burma border and number only about 100,000. The Austronesian or Ma-layo-Polynesian language is also spoken in China by various groups, predominantly in Taiwan.
As with Verne, Wells could be no more scientifically accurate than the times allowed. It was still possible in 1898 to suppose that Mars had oxygen in its atmosphere and that it held moderately large bodies of water on its surface. We now know, of course, that Mars has no oxygen in its thin atmosphere and no liquid water to speak of on its surface.
