Afrikaans is a language of South Africa, and also of . It grew from the Dutch that brought in the 1600s, so bits of it can look like Dutch — though actually it is its own language now, with simpler word-endings than Dutch, and it has taken in words from African languages, Malay, and English too. It is one of South Africa’s official languages, not the only one: many people speak Zulu, Xhosa, English, and others. The name itself first meant “African” in Dutch. You can also use Afrikaans like an adjective: Afrikaans newspapers, Afrikaans speakers.
南非語（也稱南非荷蘭語）。不是「非洲語」，也不是南非唯一的語言。
