I know that Afrikaans speakers usually use pa en ma but one could say die vader and also die moeder which are closer to "Vader und Mutter"

[@Kolchak_Enjoyer]

I don’t know why I haven’t subscribed to you yet

[@user-bb8fy4xu1c]

there's no time to explain. the story is more complicated than it seems.

[@SinarNila]

Afrikaans is a sister language to Dutch, Flemish and German, and because of its linguistic genetic affiliation it has a close relationship with Hunskerian, Luxembourgish and Limburgish. They should be compared Afrikaans, Surinamese Dutch,Limburgs, Luxembourgish and Hunskerian and Pennsylvania Deutsch together.😂

[@insertusername310]

As a Pennsylvanian I’m incredibly surprised Pennsylvanian Dutch (Deutsch) was mentioned…

[@richlisola1]

We all know what Afrikaans is.

[@reignz6968]

[@KingsleyAmuzu]

Is Afrikaans a Dutch-based creole language?

[@robleyusuf2566]

No it an old Dutch

[@goulven05]

It’s a language descended from Dutch

[@Napoleon_Bonaparte1]

It could be considered a creole with quite a few words being borrowed from the local Koisan languages and from the Malay peoples from the slave trade in the 17th century. But other than the very limited vocabulary from those two among mixing between other European languages like French and German, Afrikaans vocabulary is 95% of Dutch origin. Additionally because Afrikaans is based on older Dutch, some terms and phrases used in Afrikaans seem Archaic to Dutch speakers.

[@bradleyheissmann4538]

​@@Napoleon_Bonaparte1Afrikaans didn't have any pidgin phase, thus it's not a creole. It's arguably not a "half-creole" either. It's vocabulary overlaps 95% with modern Standard Dutch, but is ~99% lexically "Dutch". It's more lexically Dutch than Standard Dutch. Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. Read actual books and studies.

[@Napoleon_Bonaparte1]

@@bradleyheissmann4538 I never said it had a pidgin phase, all I said was that it could be interpreted as a creole, not that it is one, because it isn’t a creole language. 🤷‍♂️
