Afrikaans Language

Languages

Afrikaans is a West Germanic language that evolved from 17th-century Dutch spoken by settlers in the Cape Colony of southern Africa, incorporating influences from Malay, Khoisan languages, Portuguese, and indigenous African languages. It is one of South Africa's official languages and is also spoken in Namibia, primarily by Afrikaner and Cape Coloured communities. Learners are often drawn to it for its relatively simple grammar and close relationship to Dutch and English.
