摘要
This paper discusses a continuously repeated statement about the traditional grammatical descriptions which says that they reduced the structures of all languages to the structure of Latin. The discussion is based on the analysis of three language descriptions written in the 17th century by Jesuitical missionaries. From these grammatical works a different sense for the expression "identical to Latin" emerges: a set of structural aspects to which the grammarian could not fail to give attention.
