Too many languages are spoken in the Balkans. A traveler in that region writes of the babel: “Turkish. Bulga- rian. Serbo-Croatian, Roumanian, Ar- menian. Greek. Albanian. Kulzo-Wai- lachian.

This is true of the well known epi- grammes d’agneuu a la Mlchelet or a la Toulouse. as it was more frequently called. Miohelet was the cook of a young French mnrqulse of the century who was noted for her lack of educa- tion.
