RE: Language Blog #1 - Language Relatedness

You should read about Afrikaans which is what I speak at home and also what is used in many songs by "Die Antwoord" which is a famous South African Hip Hop act. Afrikaans comes from Dutch that was spoken to slaves in South Africa and then the slaves who were mostly of malay of Khoisan decent. Our language has bits of French, Flemish (Belgian language) and many other languages. Cool thing is I can understand people from Belgium when they speak Flemish slowly or people from Netherlands if they speak Dutch slowly.
