Ko te taiohi a William Jones he tohunga reo, i tua atu i ana reo taketake Ingarihi me te Welsh, i ako i te Kariki, Latin, Persian, Arabic, Hebrew me nga kaupapa o te tuhi Hainamana i te wa o te tamarikitanga. I te mutunga o tona oranga e mohio ana ia ki nga reo e waru me te tino tika, e whaaia ana i roto i etahi atu e waru, me te papakupu i te ringa, me te whai mana ki etahi atu tekau ma rua. I mate te papa o Jones i te toru o ona tau, a ko tona whaea a Mary Nix Jones i whakatipu ia ia. I tukuna ia ki te Kura o Harrow i te Mahuru 1753 ka haere ki te Whare Wananga o Oxford. I puta ia i reira i te tau 1768 a ka riro ia M.A. i te tau 1773. I te mea he iti te moni, ka riro i a ia tetahi tuunga hei whakaako i a Lord Althorp e whitu-tau te pakeke, tama a Earl Spencer. Mo nga tau e ono e whai ake nei i mahi ia hei kaiako me te kaiwhakamaori. I tenei wa i whakaputaina e ia a Histoire de Nader Chah (1770), he whakamaoritanga French o tetahi mahi i tuhia i te reo Perihi na Mirza Mehdi Khan Astarabadi. I mahia tenei i runga i te tono a Kingi Christian VII o Denmark: i toro atu ia ki a Jones, i te 24 o ona tau kua riro ia ia he ingoa hei orientalist. Koinei te tuatahi o nga mahi maha mo Pahia, Turkey, me te Middle East i te nuinga.  Pātai: I a wai a William Jones i ako ai i ngā reo katoa e mōhio ana ia?
