Thank you for watching!
Switching dialects or words is typical Malay characteristics even in Malaysia. Malay has,in thousands of years, been accommodating to others. We speaks pure Malay in our local dialect and then when a chinese joined the conversation we automatically switched to standard Malay or perhaps malay of chinese dialects. Since there are so many races here our Malay language has become a mixture of so many words from Malays, Mandarin, Tamil and English. We can speak like four languages in one sentence. Manglish/Singlish is like Afrikaan. It is our heritage. Even the Brits come here starting to appreciate Manglish and practise it. But if really want to learn Malay language come here and stay for six month and anybody will be fluent. Bismillah.
Ek is baie opgewonde oor die werk wat Meneer doen 🙏 ek hoop om diè Afrikaans, taal in sy eie reg, so sigbaar as Boeretaal te beleef.
How is Afrikaans going to benefit Cape Town Muslim in South Africa and abroad! Many of us are encouraging our children to emigrate to countries which are safer and where they may get better opportunities than in South Africa! It’s like apartheid has never been eradicated!
No one can explain the heart the way the tongue language does so daarom is, elke taal belangrik al gaan mens abroad
This is part of History and Culture, it defines our contribution as Muslims in South African history and it reflects our own Cultural heritage. You are confusing this event with what material"Benefit" it will have for our children. A people who forgets its own History and Culture wil sson disappear. Our descendants will blame us as the ones who neglected our history and culture and made them become nothing
We Muslim slaves and political prisoners created the Afrikaans language not the Dutch. They learned the language from US. We were the cooks, carpenters, tradesmen, gardeners, builders and artisans that designed and shaped South African cuisine, architecture, Botany, agriculture, fishing and language. Be proud of your heritage even if your kids, LIKE MINE, are working and thriving abroad.
@@nazeem6401 No, I’m being realistic … trying to think ahead of how our descendants are going to compete in the digital world … in the world of cut-throat … INTERNATIONAL… politics and economics!
By the way, as Muslims our culture is the sunnah and the Quran … not a language that has no future for our children in South Africa or abroad !
When it comes to languages, we should evolve to be able to participate in the global stage!
Move away from this limited mindset!
Think ahead!
Adapt so that our children acquire skills which give them competitive advantage in South Africa and globally!
@@nazeem6401 my friend … you can choose to have this oppressed-narrative but do not encourage others to do the same
I reiterate, Our culture is the sunnah and Quran!
This implies that we must be forward thinkers and keep abreast.. or be the best … in the skills that are current or contemporary to ensure our self- sufficiency and sustainability!
Well explaining it in English is a colonialist language.English and Afrikaans are colonialist language.
Afrikaans is a creole language developed by the slaves...the Boers stole and claimed it as their own.
How is Afrikaans going to benefit the Muslims of Cape Town in politics and economics!
We should focus on inculcating the sunnah ( the lifestyle of our beloved prophet Mohamed …saw) instead of focusing on some “cape Malay “ tradition. Focus on the sunnah and improve the english of the Cape Town Muslims. We must progress and adapt to religious and global politico-economic requirements; not retrogress to tribal traditions which will not benefit the children at all.
@@soembaindotcom5708 You have not answered my question at all! In this new global digital era , that we have progressed to, How is Afrikans going to improve or widen peoples politico-economic stance in South Africa and internationally!
Ek is Afrikaans en ek moes 21 jaar terug my geloof in engels lees wat amper ontmoontlik was want ek kom uit 'n klein dorpie uit waar net Afrikaners bewoon was
What a silly comment.
Things can be done together.
Just because a community's culture and language are discussed doesn't mean they are discussed at the expense of others.
Muslims everywhere speak their own languages and they learn those languages in schools. Does that mean learning / appreciating their language is done at the expense of learning Islam ?
Of course not.
If language is not important, then u may as well abandon Arabic!
Retrogress to tribal conditions.....mmmm.
Tell that to Saudis, who are passionate about their traditions and culture! It's where YOUR being Muslim comes from.
