Naming a TnWn.

According to local tradition, proba-
bly, invented, Sayville, n. Y, received
its name in a peculiar fashion. The
settlers were gathered in debate upon
the shore, trying to agree upon name
for the place. and one after another
proposed his suggestion with, Say,
how III this do?" After many sugges.
tions had been rejected some one bar
ren of imagination but sensitive of ear
proposed that the oft repeated word
Say" be made the first syllable of the
name and that "ville" be added as the
second syllable. The idea took, and,
says the legend, then and there the
settlement was christened Sayville.

Che Different Kinds of Dutch Spoken
In south Africa.


In SOuth Africa.
1t seems Il strange thing to say, but
there are three Dutch languages in
South Africa. The earliest Dutch set
tiers at the Cape were largely Dutch
sailors and others belonging to the low
er orders of Amsterdam, Rotterdam
and other Dutch seaports. Their Ian.
guage was a low Dutch dialect to be-
gin with, and although the sprinkling
of Dutch officers at the Cape did their
best to preserve the language of the
Netherlands they could not prevent
the dialect of the settlers from still
further degenerating into a mere COLO
quial patois. Its degeneration was
doubtless largely brought about by do
nestle servants and slaves-Hotten-
tots, Malays and Mozambique Kaffirs-
who spoke it very imperfectly and in
trOduced into it many strange words
and idiOms. This, then, is the genesis
Of what is variously known as Cape
Dutch" Kitchen Dutch,' Patriot
Dutch" "Afrikaans' and "Afrikander
Taal." It's basis is Dutch, but the
nouns have lost their declensions and
the verbs their cOnjugations. while
grammatical gender and syntax gener.
ally have gone by the board. To the
educated HOllander of today it is a lit
erary atrocity, and he cannot away
with it, but to the Afrkander it is his
mother tongue, the language of his
home and his childhood, the exponent
Of
pathOs. 1t is full of expressive idioms.
pithy proverbs and pawky expressions.
like those so dear to the lowland Scot.
and yet 1t is not a language, for it has
no literature.
The second of the three Dutch Ian
guages referred to might be called "ec-
clesiastical Dutch" or, if you like. At
rican Dutch. 1t is the language of Hol-
land as that language was written
about 200 years ago. 1t is the language
of the Dutch Bible and very much re.
sembles our own authorized version in
its simplicity and directness of style
1t is the language of the Dutch psalm
and Gesang books and of the devotion
al works of old Dutch divines, which
AAlhC UP lue DdlduCe Oh IQe Dutch
farmers literature In it are also writ
ten many tracts and a few devotional
works by living ministers of the Dutch
Reformed church. To the Boer wherev-
er you find him it is the language Of
his church and of his religion. This is
the Dutch language which the leaders
Of the Dutch Afrikander party are de-
termined TO preserve. 1t is never spo-
ken by Afrikanders among themselves.
however, and it is never written gram
matically by them in their correspond
ence. The BOer has no fear that his
"Huis-taal," Cape Dutch, will die out.
but fears that his children will forget
or neglect to learn the language of his
church and of his forefathers.
The third Dutch language might be
called modern literary or high Dutch"
that IS, the language written and
spoken by educated Hollanders of to-
day. 1t is lorid, involved in construc-
ton and very artificial in style as com
pared with the language of the Dutch
Bible. Its pronunciation has also
changed considerably in the interval,
and even an educated Dutch speaking
Afrikander listening to vOub!p uol-
lander can hardly make head or tail
of what he is saying Scotsman.
