  • Afrikaans is an Indo-European language, derived from German and thus classified as Low Franconian West Germanic. It is mainly spoken in Dragonial and Transvaal. Due to emigration and migrant labour, there are possibly over 100,000 Afrikaans speakers in Netherlands. It is the primary language used by one related ethnic group in Dragonial, the Boers. Geographically, the Afrikaans language is the majority language of the western one-third of Dragonial. Afrikaans and German or Dutch are largely mutually intelligible.
  • Afrikaans is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa, Namibia, and to a lesser extent, Botswana and Zimbabwe. It evolved from the Dutch vernacular of South Holland spoken by the mainly Dutch settlers of what is now South Africa, where it gradually began to develop distinguishing characteristics in the course of the 18th century. Hence, it is a daughter language of Dutch, and was previously referred to as "Cape Dutch" (a term also used to refer collectively to the early Cape settlers) or "kitchen Dutch" (a derogatory term used to refer to Afrikaans in its earlier days). The term is ultimately derived from Dutch "Afrikaans-Hollands" meaning "African Dutch". It is the first language of most of the Afrikaner and Coloured people of Southern Africa.
