Afrikaans Language Courses in London
Afrikaans is mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia with smaller numbers of speakers in Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Due to the emigration of many Afrikaners, there are an additional estimated 300,000 Afrikaans-speakers in the United Kingdom, with other substantial communities found in Brussels, Belgium; Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Perth, Australia, Toronto, Canada; and Auckland, New Zealand.Afrikaans developed from the Dutch of 17th century settlers in South Africa, where it is spoken by over half the white population and by many people of mixed European and African descent. Afrikaans was considered a Dutch dialect until the late 19th century. It gained equal status with Dutch and English as an official language in South Africa in 1925. Dutch remained an official language until the new 1961 constitution finally stipulated the two official languages in South Africa to be Afrikaans and English.
