A few words of the languages of Formosa,
and the comparison with the Tagalese will perhaps be of interest to
the reader. When speaking, one must note: 1) The k at the end of a word
is actually not a consonant but a harsh cut off of the preceding vowel;
2) The ë is an undefined sound between ö and ü; and 3)
S and sche are often mixed up with one another. Otherwise the language
is the German one.
