Afrikaans

I know you must be wondering why Afrikaans? We had set criteria to select the language we would all learn.

1. It had to be somewhat easy so as many people as possible would decide to learn and stick with it2. Not spoken by many so all of /int/ could learn it

Afrikaans fit these requirements splendidly. It is very easy to learn and is spoken natively by 7.1 million people.I understand that Afrikaans may not have been the language of your choice in the polls, but please join us. The entire purpose of this is to bring us all together, not bicker endlessly with each other. Just imagine, a year from now the front page is 50% in Afrikaans. Some of you may be concerned that Afrikaans may be useless to you since it is spoken by only 7 million, and you may never run into another person besides on /int/ who knows it outside of South Africa. This couldn't be more untrue. Afrikaans is a jump start into other languages. It is so closely related to Dutch that some consider Afrikaans to be only a simpler dialect o

f Dutch, so when you have a good understanding of Afrikaans, Dutch is only a corner away. You'll then also have a strong foothold in any Germanic language. Youhave much to gain from learning Afrikaans, not only a ton of fun with /int/.

Here is an example of Afrikaans

Alle menslike wesens word vry, met gelyke waardigheid en regte, gebore. Hulle het rede en gewete en behoort in die gees van broederskap teenoor mekaar op te tree.

English TranslationAll human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
