It's interesting to know that in Afrikaans the word "banana" is "piesang", which is 100%ly similar with Indonesian (Bahasa) "pisang" ππ

I like the Afrikaans language Because my father grew up in South Africa and my aunt was born in Namibia. My grandparents spoke German and Afrikaans at home in Austria. My mother tongue Austrian-Bavarian language is a dialect of Austrian-German and Afrikaans.

It's interesting how Afrikaans morphed into a separate language from Dutch. However, they began settling South Africa in the mid-late 1600s, which was after the English started settling in America, and yet American English is still English - it stayed the same language, albeit with a few vocab differences.

It is crazy how similar these languages really are. Interestingly, I have the feeling that the German word is often closer either to the English or the Dutch/Afrikaans one. However, it is not uncommon that there is an alternative word as well, similar to the other language. Two examples: we say "KΓ€se" for cheese in standard German, but here in Austria in many local dialects, "Kaas" is used a lot. Similarly, "Traktor" is the more standard word (I guess), but "Trekker" is also used, mainly in the north of Germany.

"Trekker" is also used in Dutch as an alternative for "tractor". Dutch "trekken" and Afrikaans "trek" both mean "to pull". So that makes a "trekker" a "puller" in both languages.

For all of those people who are complaining about English being different, there's a version of the language called Anglish . It basically got rid of all the Latin and French words and replaced them with Germanic ones.

I would love to see the same video, but with Old English included. Then you would really see the similarities between English and the other languages.

I speak English & Spanish and what I got from the romance & germanic language comparisons is that
Portuguese & Spanish = Afrikaans & Dutch (twins)
Italian = German (very close)
French = English (the one that's a bit off)

So I am German. Do I get this right? The Afrikaans word for "Giraffe" is Camel-Horse (Kameelperd = Kamelpferd)?
Because I love it.

So basically Afrikaans is the son of Dutch,German a close uncle and english a very far away aunt

As an Afrikaans speaking Namibian, Now I see why it's so easy to learn and understand German,

English was the sibling in the Germanic household who migrated to Paris and followed their customs. π€£
