It was published in the late 1940's or early 1950's Anyway, my dad gave it to me to read. He use to do that -- always giving me books to read. I had to do a double take when I read the part "the French language evolved and was spread by popular songs of the day". Sometimes they would be a story, event or love. These songs were in the language that the people spoke. The written language was in Latin for the church and the state. I re-read it just to make sure I was seeing right. I even went back later to read it again. I thought okay, that is why French is so melodious and beautiful. It is music. <BR/><BR/>Jeff and GF Kelly, That sounds so fun.

Pssst, Usually Eric posts a Wikipedia link ;-)<BR/><BR/>Parisian Heart, I read not too long ago in a French history book. That the French language evolved and was spread by popular songs of the day. The official language being Latin. <BR/><BR/>Wikipedia excerpt: "The foundation of the Académie française (French Academy) in 1634 by Cardinal Richelieu created an official body whose goal has been the purification and preservation of the French language. This group of 40 members is known as the Immortals, not, as some erroneously believe, because they are chosen to serve for the extent of their lives (which they are), but because of the inscription engraved on the official seal given to them by their founder Richelieu—"À l'immortalité" ("to the Immortality (of the French language)"). The foundation still exists and contributes to the policing of the language and the adaptation of foreign words and expressions. Some recent modifications include the change from software to logiciel, packet-boat to paquebot, and riding-coat to redingote. The word ordinateur for computer was however not created by the Académie, but by a linguist appointed by IBM." <BR/><BR/>Thib, that link was fun.Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-59357901518815546772008-07-31T19:18:00.000+02:002008-07-31T19:18:00.000+02:00Tall Gary: thanks for the work on finding the lin...Tall Gary: thanks for the work on finding the link to my letter.
