Afrikaans

Afrikaans

Afrikaans, formerly called Cape Dutch or colonial Dutch, is one of the eleven official languages ​​in South Africa and a recognized minority language in Namibia. It belongs to the West Germanic branch of the Indo-European languages ​​and originated from the Neuniederland of the 17th century. Compared to today's Dutch standard language, Afrikaans has undergone considerable morphological unification. It was originally the language of the Boers. Afrikaans, früher auch Kapholländisch oder Kolonial-Niederländisch genannt, ist eine der elf Amtssprachen in Südafrika und eine anerkannte Minderheitensprache in Namibia. Es gehört zum westgermanischen Zweig der indogermanischen Sprachen und ist aus dem Neuniederländischen des 17. Jahrhunderts entstanden. Verglichen mit der heutigen niederländischen Standardsprache hat Afrikaans erhebliche morphologische Vereinheitlichungen durchlaufen. Ursprünglich war es die Sprache der Buren.
