Some may ask, "what language is Quoc-Ngu?" Quoc-Ngu is a Romanized version of a Chinese dialect, spoken in Anam, a division of French Indo-China. If the language is as strange as its name it must be a "tongue twister," and our typewritten sample shows that it is as strange--just about. Nevertheless a considerable number of typewriters are used today for writing Quoc-Ngu. The purely Celtic languages form an interesting group. They are represented by five examples, Irish, Gaelic, Welsh, Breton and Manx. The typewritten sample shows the Romanized writing of the Irish or Erse language. Typewriters have also been sold to write Erse in the original character, the type having been specially cut for the purpose. Six of the Philippine languages are represented, Tagalog, Pampango, Ilocano, Visayan, Bicol and Pangasinan. Here, indeed, is striking evidence of the heterogeneous population of these new American possessions. Equally notable is the South African group in which five languages are represented, Sizulu, Sesotho, Sixosa, Setshangaan and Taal. Of these the first four are native Kafir dialects. Hollandsch or Dutch was in the old days of the Transvaal Republic the official language. Taal is the every-day language of the South African Dutchman, and is a conglomeration, principally of Hollandsch, with some English. English-speaking people who have never been in South Africa may be curious to know what mixed Dutch and English sounds like. The typewritten sample, however, can only show how it looks.
