The Alhestmon says :—The meeting of the Turkish Parliament is likely to prove an experiment in language. It is well known that the Turks, like the &lags are, the Greeks, and the Roumans, have worked up an °retorteal and artificial language, which is qu.te distinct from the popular dialects. It *as with some a questitot. how far the Anatolian dialect, almost Turki, would get on beside the highly wrought Stamhulu, with its infuSinn of Persian and Arabia. It is, however, stated that the country members speak freely. This is attributable to two (muses. The first is that Turks at all ranks are in the habit of stating a Mee conciselv before an officisl or a tribunal, as advocates were not formerly tolerated. The more immediate cause Is that Flied and Ali Pashas began in early life a reform in the language, with a view to increasing Ps area and power. They encouraged plain Turkish, and disco.. raged the grand style. So the officials have learnini to discard their stilted phraseology and to spea plainly. Then there has been plenty of training for them, for. beeitle court business and the old guilds ot every town, there has been an abunclance of provineiat and town cot twits. These, too, have given practice t.. the various Christians and Jews, besides what theN have in their own dialects in their own privileged in. at buttons of self-goveniment. Consequently it appears thet a further development has been given to versus rular Turii.h.
