Afrikaans

Afrikaans is a West Germanic language, mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia. It is a daughter language of Dutch, originating in its 17th century dialects, and was historically referred to as Cape Dutch. Although Afrikaans borrowed from languages such as Malay, Portuguese, the Bantu languages or the Khoisan languages, an estimated 90 to 95 percent of Afrikaans vocabulary is ultimately of Dutch origin.Therefore, differences with Dutch often lie in a more regular morphology, grammar, and spelling of Afrikaans. There is a degree of mutual intelligibility between the two languages-especially in written form-although it is easier for Dutch-speakers to understand Afrikaans than the other way round.

Regardless of whether this is in Technology, Business, Legal, Medicine and the Healthcare Profession, Marketing, Media and Culture, Construction, Energy and water supplies, Research and Doctrines. We are pleased to translate afrikaans into English, German or French. If required, we will also translate afrikaans into any other world language.
