Afrikaans Language Facts

Afrikaans is a South African language originating from the Dutch spoken by settlers in Africa in the seventeenth century. Despite the fact that Afrikaans developed in Africa and is unique to the region, it is classified as Low Franconian West Germanic due to the fact that it originates from Dutch. It is mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia, with smaller populations of speakers living in Australia, Botswana, Canada, Lesotho, Malawi, New Zealand, Swaziland, the United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Most, if not all, Afrikaans speaking people living outside of Africa are emigrants who have left South Africa. Due to emigration and migrant labour, there are possibly over 100,000 Afrikaans speakers in the United Kingdom. It is the primary language used by two ethnic groups in South Africa: the Afrikaans people (Afrikaners) and the Coloureds.

Afrikaans is the majority language of the western third of South Africa (Northern and Western Cape, in which it is spoken at home by 68% and 55% of the population, respectively). It is also the most common first language in the adjacent southern third of Namibia (Hardap and Karas, where it is the first language of 44% and 40% of the population, respectively).

Spoken in: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Malawi, Zambia
