Afrikaans is a dialect of Dutch spoken in South Afrika by the descendants of Dutch settlers,Malay slaves and French Hughenots. As such it has a number of words from French and Malay and today has assimilated quite a bit from english.e.g.Originally posted by Shadowarrior
Ayo wtf is afrikaans, anyway i speak ebonics
English banana - Afrikaans piesang (from malay)
English car - Afrikaans Kar (used to be motor)
The grammar is vastly simplified compared to standard Dutch and gender and verb conjugation no longer exist and tenses are far simpler (almost no imperfect tense)
zzzzzz.........End of boring language definition.
That said, it is very easy to learn if somewhat strange to pronouce.
