Afrikaans 

A Western Germanic language that developed in South Africa as a semi-creolised form of Dutch after Dutch colonists settled at the Cape of Good Hope in the 17th Century. It is spoken by over 6 million people as a first language and by a further 6 million as a second language.

The language's name Afrikaans simply means "African" and features a highly regularised, simplified grammar (there are fewer than 5 irregular verbs in the language), double negation (as in French) and pronounciation that is softer and less guttural than modern Dutch. Like English, it has only one gender for nouns (as opposed to two in Dutch).

Afrikaans and Dutch remain mutually intelligible and although the majority of its vocabulary derives from 17th Century Dutch, it has incorporated many words from indigenous and aboriginal Southern African languages (especially KhoiSan, Xhosa and Zulu), as well as Malaysian, French and German, reflecting the phenomenon of South Africa as a melting pot of cultures.

Cut off from Europe, the fledgeling language rapidly evolved unique features. There is strong evidence to suggest that proto-Afrikaans developed as a creole form of Dutch among slaves and servants; indeed, it was known (disparigingly) as "Kitchen Dutch" or "Kombuistaal" (Kitchen Language).

By the 19th Century Afrikaans had developed into a separate language and in the 1920s was formally recognised as an official language (co-equal in status with English) of the Union of South Africa.

As the preferred language of the Apartheid state, the language has been stigmatised in the past as the vehicle of an oppressive regime, most infamously as the cause of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, where several youths died protesting Afrikaans being enforced as the language of instruction in schools (as opposed to English). Today, however, the language has been largely depoliticised and proudly spoken by South Africans of all backgrounds.

Afrikaans has greatly influenced South African English and has contributed several words to modern international English - most famously perhaps "trek" (as in epic journey, as in Star Trek) and "veld" for grassland/savannah.

Following the advent of democracy in 1994, Afrikaans retained its official status along with 10 other languages.

Unique and eccentric, meeting an Annika is like crossing paths with a unicorn; rare, enchanting, and impressionable. Most people never meet her, and go their whole lives thinking she's a myth. Known for her artistic ability and extreme love for music, Annika is often busy day dreaming and stuck in her own little world. She is constantly reading, drawing, or singing. Annika loves all things creative and is highly influenced by nature. Although a bit awkward at times, Annika is beautiful, hilarious, and full of life.
"I think I just met an Annika."

"How do you know?"

"Well, she was standing next to that unicorn over there, and I've never seen one of those before either, so it must be her."

"You're right! I read somewhere that all Annika's ride unicorns. Let's go introduce ourselves!"

Afrikaaner 

A white South African who speaks Afrikaans and is of Dutch descent. Known for their love biltong (dried meat), rugby and walking around barefoot in summer. You can easily spot an Afrikaaner, because they'll literally be the only ones wearing shorts and flip-flops in winter. They're also quite large compared to South Africans of British descent.
