Now, if only this disconcent can be demonstrated at the polls, then we might see some improvement!

@mhambi thank you so much for this. on point 15 the first transliterated Qu’raan was in Afrikaans. Using it’s phonetics. It was however one of the first transcripts to actually put afrikaans onto paper. I am proudly coloured and proud of Afrikaans. Its a homegrown language that we should be proud of. A point I have made on several occassions. Ons is almal beinvloed by Afrikaans en dus oorsponklik vir afrika. Not even the sesothos can claim that.

Facts about Fact 15: The first written/scripted Afrikaans was not a translation of the Koran; it was a religious tract. Arabic script was used to produce the phonetics/pronounciation of words identifiably Afrikaans.

Hi Po, there’s a town in the Netherlands called Breda. Your family might be from there hence the Van Breda (From Breda).

There are for instance no Van Rensburg’s or Van Vuuren’s in Europe I believe.

There were two families Janse that moved to next to the Liesbeeck river in Cape Town when above mentioned industrial dispute happened. To distinguish themselves they got the names Janse van Rensburg (a town on the German side of the Dutch border) and Janse van Vuuren (a town in the Netherlands). Later some dropped the Janse altogether.

@Po – You have a point but a ‘quick’ response to the comments made on websites regarding Afrikaners and there heritage on some random blog where erroneous facts are made is not by any stretch of the imagination doing any of the ‘Formal Books’ an injustice….

Comment on I was wrong – Dan is ungracious & dangerous by Johan Swarts

Rumour has it hy was deel van DJ Opperman se Letterkunde lab saam met grotes soos Marlene van Niekerk en Ronel de Goede…en het toe nie die cut gemaak nie.

Dalk is hy omgekrap oor hy nooit die Hertzogprys gewen het vir Kommas nie?

@Lee – The point you may be missing, is that “formal books” aren’t really an authority on what constitutes a language.
