C7 TUT OLUAWA TIMES, Wednesday, September 28, 1960 Many Tongues Are Spoken In The World WASHINGTON (CP) English Is the most widely spoken lan gupge in the world but Chinese] Is spoken by the most people, And if you put sll the lan guages spoken--more than 3,000 of them----into one chorus, the sounds that would emanate might remind you of the rasps of an orchestra rehearsal---or the clash of hornets snd elephants "Caucasians employ a variety of consonants says the Na tional Geographic Society in a lenguage report. "Arabs use many guttural sounds; south. western Africans speak wil grunts and clicks and natives of Gorpera in the Canary Islands sora by whistling." HERE'S PROOV Some men claim women alk a lot gnd the National Geo graphic says that in the United States at least women are a lot speedier, They average about 175 syllables a minuie, 25 more than men, Speech speed varies all through. the world, with major tongues In eluding Hindustani, Russian, Spanish, German French and Japanese .as well as English and Chinese Frenchmen race along at 350 syllables a minute--much faster than American women while South Seas inders drop to a rate of BO syllables, less than one syllable a second English is described in some quariers as an egoistic language because it is the only one that capitalizes "1", Bome words slip across nar tional lines, Buch well-used Eng- lish words as "sandwich," "film" and "baby" come from the French-intact, Italians speak of "nylon," 'foothall" and "cold eream" while the Japanese usc "husa' and "maiehi" for "bus and ""mateh." WORD BORROWING Bki, geyser and slalom eome from the Beandinavian topgues; sputnik and Soviet from the Rus n; pizza and Influenza from the Italian; fooey and kibitzer from Yiddish; kowtow and ty. phoon from Chinese and yogi and Khaki from Hindustani, British Customs Irk Visitors LONDON (AP) -- A lot of visi. tors are annoyed by the way British customs men operate, This finding emerged from a questionnaire - submitted by the British Travel and Holidays As. sociation to 650,000 overseas visi tors this year, Only about three per cent of these questionnaires were completed but the associa. tion decided the replies gave an adequate sampling of tastes, Many tourists were tolerant about British cooking even about British weather--=but no one had a good word for customs men who made them wait In long, uncomfortable queues, In general there seemed to he more likes about the British than dislikes, There was praise for British hespitality and tributes for the British pollceman American visitors complained most often about poor plumbing, lack of ice water, rarity of shower baths, bad restaurant service and the bewildering cur. rency system, Few people seemed to criticize the country's roads--to the supe prise of Hritish motorists who are forever bhewalling them as antiquated traffic traps One young man from Califor. nia wrote on his card "The women are very attracs tive with particularly shapely legs." A Danish visitor objected "The pairs of people In close emhrace in the parks of London Is a very nnpleasant and un. worth nt ADutehman commented: 'Your beer is like tea water," ® BERNER BEEN B® " 7% LJ " J » ~ |] ph =» Ww gE LJ ™ CB LJ : . a .
