Did you know that Afrikaans and Dutch are essentially the same language? Afrikaans is a dialect of Dutch that arrived in South Africa in the 1600s. Despite Afrikaans changing the pronunciation of some words and simplifying its grammar, speakers of the two languages can understand each other easily.

De 2 talen zijn hetzelfde. Afrikaans is een Nederlands dialect met een paar verschillende woorden en een andere uitspraak. Het Friese dialect is 10 keer moeilijker om te verstaan. Dit is de realiteit!!!

Dat komt omdat Fries een taal is en geen dialect. (en dat zeg ik als Groninger 😉)

I'm learning (some, very basic!) Zulu and German. English is my first language. Is German close enough to Afrikaans, like Dutch? South Africa is definitely on our travel list!

@frankmuller6834 how many south africans speak English? I also don't have access to an afrikaans language app, but I do have Zulu, German, and Dutch on duolingo. Would you recommend learning a little bit of Zulu and Dutch for a South Africa trip?

​​@@natepolsky4398 don't worry, most south africans speak perfect english. Im not sure how much learning zulu will help you as it depends where you are traveling. For example, kzn is very zulu whereas the western cape is Xhosa. And there are many other languages in the different provinces. SA has 11 official languages, with English being one of them.

Nee, socio-politiek gezien zijn dit twee verschillende talen. Taalkundig staan ze veel dichter bij elkaar dan menig dialecten in Duits, Frans of Italiaans, of zelfs bepaalde Nederlandse dialecten!

This assumes that two different, let's say, ways of speaking, are one language if they are mutually intelligible. Why do we have to use this definition?

We are taught German in some of our schools and in many areas. German is spoken widely in South Africa 🇿🇦 and Namibia 🇳🇦 . Most of us are bilingual as Afrikaans and English are spoken widely, and we sometimes mix them too. Other than that, South Africa has 11 official languages. ❤

Nee ou, jy's verkeerd. Ja dis waar dat hulle is gelyk, maar hoe hulle praat en hoe hulle die woorde uitspraak en die woorde wat hulle gebruik en die sin tye is baie verakskil. Afrikaans en Hollans is nie die selfde taal nie. Een van a baie belangrik punt is, Afrikaans gebruik dubbel ontkennede en Hollans gebruik net een in n sin. Ek kan aangaan maar ek sal hier tot volgende Maandag wees. Jy kry die punt
