'''Afrikaans''' is the language of the Afrikaners (and Cape Coloureds) of [[South Africa]], who form about 56% of that country's Caucasian population. It is derived from 17th century High Dutch and [[German]], as well as acquiring its double negative from [[French]] (the double negative was absent in both German and High Dutch).

 

It has also borrowed words from Malay and English.
