THE TAAL

Language Spoken by tho Boer or Te- Day
"A Shrunken Vocabulary.
The language spoken by the Boer OF
ho-day is called ''the Taal." It 10 not
French. nor is it Dutch, nor is 1t even liz
the usual acceptatton Of the word a
dialect of Dutch, but is broken form
Of speech based on that language. II
Is used at the present day all over South
Africa by the Beers ard half-castes as
their only speech; it Is found in Its
greatest purity in the free state. Trans
vaal and frontier districts, where it has
been least exposed to scholastic and
foreign influences during the last few
years. To anafyzs fully this tiny but
interesting variety Of speech would take
Us far beyond our limits. It differs
from the Dutch of the HoIlander not as
archaic forms Of speech in Europe often
differ from the literary. as the Italian OF
the Ligurian peasant from that OF the
Florentine, or the Somersetshire or
Yorkshire dialects from the language
Of the London newspapers; these ar
chaic European dialects not only often
represent the earlier form Of language,
but are often richer IN varied idiems and
in the power eff expressing subtle and
complex thoughts than are their allied
literary forms.
Tho relation of the Taal TO Dutch is
Of quite different kind. The Dutch Of
Holland II as highly developed Ian
guage and as voluninous and capable OF
expressing the finest scintilaations OF
thought os any IN Europe. The vocah-
ulary Of The Tsal has shrunk to few
hundred words, which have been shorn
Of almost all their infections and have
been otherwise clipped The plurals,
which IN Dutch are horned In various
and complex ways. the Taal forms by an
almost universal addition Of an "e," and
the verbs, which IN Dutch are a. fully
and expressively corrugated az IN Eng
lish or German, In the Taa1 drop al
persons but tho third person singular
Thus, the verb ITO be, instead Of being
corrugated as In the Dutch Of holland

pean languages, thus runs. IL a. Je is
