The Afrikaans language is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa, Namibia and, to a lesser extent, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In this language challange, Rean from South Africa is going to put participants to a test to see how similar Afrikaans, German and Swedish are. This is part of the Germanic languages comparison series in which we test mutual intelligibility between languages belonging to the same language family. Afrikaans is a creole language. It has adopted many words from other languages, including German and the Khoisan languages, however estimated 90 to 95% of the vocabulary of Afrikaans is of Dutch origin.
