'''Afrikaans''' or also '''Cape Dutch''' is a West [[Germanic language]] and the official language of the country [[South Africa]] and the [[lingua franca]] in [[Namibia]]. Although Afrikaans is very similar to [[Dutch]], it is clearly a separate language, differing from Standard Dutch in its sound system and its loss of case and gender distinctions. it's a so called daughter language of Dutch and Dutch speakers can understand Afrikaans with a little difficulty and vice versa. It's the first language for approximately 7.2 million people.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/Afrikaans-language</ref>
