…Despite his conciliatory nature, however, even #Ramaphosa wasn't able to hide his
frustration after 59 #white #Afrikaans South Africans who were granted *#refugee* status by the #Trump admin arrived in the #US last week.

Ramaphosa said given that there is no persecution of the minority group, the #Afrikaners who left for the US were simply white people who didn't want to live under #Black majority rule.

Almost everything that's different between #Afrikaans and #Dutch are fine, you know - I just need to remember which language I'm currently speaking.
But seriously vijf over half twaalf ?

In Afrikaans we just call that vyf-en-twintig-voor-een.

WTF Hollands ?

Finally starting on this book I bought in Johannesburg this spring. For all the books I bought in little political bookshops, this one actually called out to me from a display in a corporate bookstore in a mall.

Basically an edited version of his thesis from the 90s, it looks into the fascinating history of Cape Muslim #Afrikaans writing in the #Arabic script dating back centuries to when the enslaved community in the Cape Colony lost the use of their original languages (Malay, etc)

Johan seems to be trying to blend in by occassionally attempting, but failing, to affect an #Afrikaans accent.
"Eets not for Meester Hemlin" said Johan, "its for ewe."

Roll on the #BodiceRipping and the illegal cross-race affair with the Black postman I say.

Just not sure that this book, long-listed for the 2023 #BookerPrize, is actually going there.

So #Audible is peddling an amateur production of slash fiction here or literature, professionally presented?

DeManiak 🇿🇦 🐧- The Real Cheeze

This was precious.

So I finally phoned the vasectomy doc (again) just to 2x check that all is well.

Speak to nurse, and the last question I have is about the stitches (i.e. how are they getting out).
This is in #Afrikaans, so I use "steke".
She just hears "steek" (also used as slang for ..er...porking), and so gently launches an explanation that I must first test to verify that all actually is as it should be.

Luckily I'm in a DILIGAF mood, so just corrected her, and got the info neeed :D

De GruyterAfrikaans in Patagonia: Language shift and cultural integration in a rural immigrant communityChubut Province, in Patagonia, Argentina, is home to a group of Afrikaans-speaking Boers, descendants of those who–starting in 1902–came to Argentina from the region of present-day South Africa. Although little Afrikaans is spoken among fourth- and fifth-generation community members, many in the third generation (60 years and older) still maintain the language. According to Joshua Fishman’s model of generational language shift, the Boers’ Afrikaans should have been largely diluted by the third generation; older community members today should have little functional knowledge of the language, and their children and grandchildren none. The goal of this paper is to explore the persistence of bilingualism in the Argentine Boer community and explain why the changes normally associated with the third generation of immigrants are only now being seen in the fourth and fifth generations. On the basis of bilingual interviews with living community members, we argue that the community’s attitude toward Afrikaans as a language of group identity, as well as the relative isolation of the community in rural Patagonia in the first half of the 20th century, were both decisive factors in delaying the process of linguistic assimilation. Only in the middle of the 20th century, when the community came into greater contact with Argentine society as a result of modernization and schooling in the region, did the process of linguistic integration begin in a measurable way.

Really, Oxford? You and I have spent many nights in vigorous thesaurusing, and I have few complaints about your performance.

But I dunno this time, hey. "#Lekker" could easily be used for "tipsy", and even "buzzed", but drunk? Which is, by our own definition, "affected by alcohol to the extent of losing control of one's faculties or behaviour"?

Maybe as euphemism, but not seriously, no.

This may call for a sternly-worded letter.

Confusing the way people talk about times: in #Afrikaans, half-sewe (Half-seven) means half-past six, or "half an hour BEFORE seven".

When a #British person says "half-seven", they mean half PAST seven.

Lots of confusion there. It's almost as bad as midnight, which can either mean 23:59:59 or 00:00:00, and not even Wikipedia can tell you when it means what. And it makes a BIG difference, because when someone says something starts "tomorrow at midnight", do they mean Tuesday at 00:00:00, or Tuesday at 23:59:59? Arrgh, it's infurtiating.

Speaking of which, it really grates me when people talk about "last night at three AM". Because any time on or after 00:00:00 is clearly MORNING. It's "three o'clock this morning", NOT "last night at three o'clock." (yes, I would say, "this morning at midnight", too) :-P
