@@julianmcmillan2867 Afrikaner in the past was already very arabized, that was the language's past. So much so that it went from the Arabic alphabet to the Latin to find itself again with Dutch, which is its mother and source language. Present-day Afrikaner already has a diluted and convalescent Arabic influence. The Afrikaans of the future will be an desarabized language because the Dutch current is strong in the language and is pushing the language towards this future stage. Perhaps future generations will see our conversation materialize, let time run its course and do its work.
