LATELY ACQUIRED TONGUE
The Queer Language That Admiral
Dewey Took Along with the
Philippine Islands.

The tongue spoken by all but few
of the dwellers in the Philippine arch
ipelago has been the subject of good
deal of curious speculation as well as
scientific research. Conservative philol-
ogy and ethnology ascribe to the Lam
guage, and to the untold millions Of
men and women who use it, an origin
almost undoubtedly Malayan.
The language of the archipelago d.
vides into innumerable local dialects,
OF which vocabularies Of about 35 have
been written down. Every dialect is
dim with an infnity of idioms, and the
technical and pet words of Mussulman
and Christian propagandists, japanese
and Chinese chstaways. Negrito wan
derers and Negrila sweetheurts, celes-
tial merchants and Spanish dons have
been mixed with the whole as occasion
offered
OF these dialects the most important
is the Tagaloc. 1t is spoken by 100000
Tagals in Luzon and the adjacent
islands. Ten thousand girls have been
often heard chattering Tagaloc all at
once in II Manila tobacco factory.
The word tagal means a native;
tngala, q native woman; zagala, a
lady; dalaga, a girl; bahaque, native
dress-to wear which is to be native.
Luzon is said to be from losong, o
primitive rice mill kept in every house
Cavite is Cavit, "the Hook" and not
from the Latin cave, beware"
Manila, which has given name to a
valuable textile fiber, and, in some
places, to the peanut, was manilad,
"the place of the nilad," a shrub grow
ing wild among the mangroves.
Euphony is made to order; syncopa-
ton, addition, transposition, muta'
ton, while you listen. Nouns and verbs
are blended; word may be a sentence
or a stickful half word. Initiative
words grow wild.
The natives, a musical and poetical
people, are much given to the intoning
of eXtemporaneous verses, and their
improvisations are often upon the
grayest themes. A touching incident
is related of poor womanwho chant
ed heart-rending impromptu invoca-
ton to the virgin as her little child lay
dying in her arms,
The native dramas are of intolerable
length; tragedy will often include
the entire life of some king. Re-
ligious dramas are very popular, OF
these, the passion Play" in Tagaloc
verse, is the favorite.
There is body of poetry consisting
largely of lyrics, wedding songs,
romanzas, ballads and ditties of all
kinds. These are all set to native
music; weird and fascinating melodies
that are a fiat insult to western ideas
of tune.
0 composition in minor key and
full of accidentals will take notion
to pause in the middle of half-tone
below the fifth, and to wind up with
out any resolution half-tone below
the tonic.-N. Y. Sun.
