A Thread about... NOTHING!

it is the language of the descendants of the Boers of south Africa...
hehe yeah afrikaans is a lot like dutch, first time i heard it speak i was like what kind of strange dutch dialect is that :p
actually it is how the dutch used to speak like way back lol it is an example how a language develops independently when it is isolated...

Afrikaans is a time capsule of language...

yer the Afrikaners are descendant of the original dutch colonists on the cape set up to supply dutch merchant vessels. but when the british showed up and took the cape they took off inland and cut their ties with the motherland...

afrikaans compared to dutch is probably like Shakespearean English compared to modern English you would understand the concept of what they were saying but don't understand it word for word...'

i grew up with a lot of south Africans...
