…African". > No, no, no. NOW is the time to speak Afrikaans. Many people were shy about doing so in the bad old days because of the racist connotations. But now it's an endangered language needing speakers. With the white's diaspora from SA it is being spoken in many little communities all over the world. This network can be kept active through the internet. One now also sees quite a bit of interest from overseas with people wanting to know more about it, and sometimes to wanting to learn it. JN…

I also find it interesting that you say nothing about the problematic connotations of English with its colonial past, and the English' authoritative, patronizing imposition of their language on the countries they colonised, at the expense of indigenous languages. Nog iets, I may be Afrikaans but I at least know how to spell 'liars' and 'hypocrites' Fucking asshole!! >…

A coin called "dubbeltjie."

These thorns, when dry, would lie in wait for the unsuspecting feet of those stubborn children that refused to wear shoes. However, I think that the name of these thorns should really be spelled "duwweltjies," as I suspect that the word is really derived from the word "duiwel" (devil) and that the…
