Afrikaans
Afrikaans is an
Indo-European language, derived from
Dutch and classified as
Low Franconian Germanic, mainly spoken in
South Africa and
Namibia, with smaller numbers of speakers in
Botswana,
Angola,
Swaziland,
Zimbabwe,
Togo, and
Zambia. Due to
emigration and migrant labour, there are possibly over 100,000 Afrikaans speakers in the
United Kingdom, with other substantial communities found in
Brussels,
Amsterdam,
Perth (Australia),
Toronto and
Auckland. It is the primary language used by two related ethnic groups in South Africa: the
Afrikaners and the
Coloureds or kleurlinge or bruinmense (including
Basters,
Cape Malays and
Griqua).
