120 PUNCTUATION.

4. The Natives have no points or divisions of any kind in their writings; and, except their poetry the style of which is foreign to the Malayalim language, their works present a confused mass of matter huddled together without any mark to distinguish one subject from another. The method of making sentences, that may be found in some few modern native writings, has been introduced by, or borrowed from, Europeans.
37 See para 13 on the letters എ and ഒ.
38 Accent respects the pronunciation of words. Emphasis the meaning of the sentence. Tone of Cadence refers to the feelings of the Speaker. In all these subjects, the Malayalim is susceptible of great improvement; and the name of that Native Gentleman who may, in these respects, strive to advance and enrich his own language, will be remembered with respect and honor by generations yet unborn.
