The Arabic Afrikaans Writing Tradition, 1815 - 1915

Afrikaans developed when slaves in the Cape adapted Dutch âEUR" the language of the rulers âEUR" for their own use. Many years later Afrikaans was hijacked by some white Afrikaners as âEUR¿their languageâEUR(TM), but Davids proved beyond doubt that it was the descendants of the slaves, not their masters, who first wrote Afrikaans.
