Afrikaans
Variations:	[ɐfriˈkɑːns]
Countries:	South Africa, Namibia and to a lesser extent in Botswana and Zimbabwe
Speakers:	6.82 million natives and 15-23 million (total)
Official in:	South Africa
Tips:	Afrikaans originates from 17th century Dutch dialects of the mainly Dutch settlers, that further developed in South Africa. There is a large degree of mutual intelligibility between the two languages-especially in written form-although it is easier for Dutch-speakers to understand Afrikaans than the other way around.
