In this video, we compare some of the similarities between Afrikaans and Indonesian, with Philip, an Afrikaans speaker from South Africa, and Firman, an Indonesian speaker from Indonesia. The Indonesian language has been influenced by many other languages, and Dutch has been one of the major languages to influence bahasa Indonesia. While the Afrikaans language evolved from Dutch and is considered daughter language of Dutch.

Indonesian is a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language is used as a lingua franca. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor.
Afrikaans is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Having evolved from Dutch, the language was spoken by the Dutch settlers, and then by the native Africans who associated with them. Over the course of time, Afrikaans adopted words from other languages, such as the Khoisan languages and even from Indonesian through the Cape Malay community in Cape Town.
Around 90% of the Afrikaans language consists of Dutch words, and it is estimated that the number of Dutch words in the Indonesian language are far more than the ones from the other languages which have impacted Indonesian such as English, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, and Persian.

There are many non-Dutch words that Afrikaans and Indonesian/Malayu share, eg : piesang - pisang (banana) piering - piring (saucer/plate) baie - banyak (a lot) baklei - berkelahi (to fight) sambal - sambal (side salad with chili in Afrikaans; hot sauce or shrimp paste in Indonesian/Malay) blatjang - belacang (a fermented paste, made of shrimp in Indonesia but peaches in South Africa) baadjie - baju (jacket in Afrikaans; shirt/clothes in Indonesian/Malay) and in Cape Town dialect of Afrikaans they're a lot more common : tramma kassie - terima kasih (thanks) tamaaf - minta maaf (excuse me) kanalla - kerana Allah (please) Labarang - Lebaran (Eid) pwasa/boeka- puasa/buka (to fast/ break the fast)

@kykale 4 года назад

bakkeleien also entered the Dutch language (as is sambal denoting hot sauce) I came across this video after reading this research caled 'Oor Austro-Nederlands en die oorsprong van Afrikaans' by de Ruyter & Kotze (2002) on how a Austro-Dutch lingua franca influenced Afrikaans and Indonesian, but also how Malay influenced Afrikaans.

We, South Africa and Indonesia were both colonized by the Dutch VOC at the same time. The Indonesian population spoke Dutch for many many years. Most of the kids were schooled in Dutch by the Nuns and Priests from the Netherlands. When they were ' liberated ' the President declared that only Indonesian must be spoken. The had to learn from scratch. I visited in Jakarta 15 years ago, and I spoke Afrikaans with the older generation, who stil speak Dutch in private. One lady at the Bible Study group, had tears in her eye when I read my Afrikaans Bible out load.

South Africa was never colonized. Unlike what the woke marxists want you to believe the Dutch didn't start to colonize until the 19th century. The Dutch had trading posts.

@SetuwoKecik 8 месяцев назад

Dutch never actually taught their language to indonesians until the late stage of their colonization, but rather they're learned the native lingua franca, which is bahasa melayu to speak with the natives. Lots of dutch vocabulary was transferred during the process.

I'm dutch, and this was really fascinating to me. Not the fact that dutch influenced indonesian a lot and is the root of the Afrikaans language, but how very similar the pronuciation still is. I'd expected that the dutch influence on Bahasa Indonesia would have been more in spelling and meaning and not so much pronunciation. Anyway, I really liked the video. Subbed. :)

@danuaditya642 3 года назад

Actually, the pronunciation was kept, while the spelling was harmonized with British-influenced Malay. While the pronunciation doesn't change too much between Dutch, Afrikaans and Indonesian, Afrikaans was undergo spelling reform into more similar to pronunciation, Indonesian got the loanwords from listening [education was limited] on the beginning and kept the rule, while Dutch kept more etymological spelling. Thus, in spelling, Indonesian more likely have similar spelling to Afrikaans than Dutch.

My native language is Finnish, an isolated language on itself, but once you know couple of other languages it gets easy to guess the loan words. Kalkun/kalkoen is kalkkuna in Finnish, keran/kraan is kraana, kamer/kamar is kamari, kantoor/kantor is konttori, kol/kool is kaali, apotek/apteek is apteekki and so forth. From "Ek kryep medisyne by die apteek" I deciphered "equipping medicine by the pharmacy". Close enough to get the meaning behind the sentence.

Well if it wasn't for Cape Town in South Africa the Dutch would not have made it to Indonesia anyway. The Dutch East Indian Company that traded in spices would leave the Netherlands and stop at Cape Town, the southern most point in Africa. Cape Town (Kaaapstad) was used as a refreshment station where Dutch ships use to get new fresh fruits and vegetables for the long voyage going to Indonesia. That is way Cape Town was called. "Kaap de goede hoop" (Cape of good hope) Between Indonesia, Cape Town South Africa and the Netherlands there lies a special connection.

Speaking about Philip knows how to to "change" the "J" pronunciation from [dʒ] to [j] from English to Afrikaans, the Indonesian language (or even just "Malay" back then) also used to use the letter "j" for [j] sound instead of "y" during the Dutch colonial period (circa late 1800s-early 1900s) which was used to mimic the spelling of the Dutch language. We also used the digraph "oe" instead of "u". It's called "Van Ophusjen Spelling".

@SantomPh 4 года назад

it's from an Indo-European root that mixed in with Latin as well- in French it's Chambre, in Serbian it's komora in Spanish it's cámara. However, these languages have different words for the actual "room" - French : pièce, Serbian : soba, Spanish: habitación. the differences come from class : nobles usually lived in "chambers" like suites with multiple rooms while less well off people lived in rooms. Even in Indonesian the word is "bilik" for the actual room, although "kamar" is used for specific areas like the bedroom,bathroom etc (kamar tidur, kamar mandi, ). Curiously the living room is just "Ruang keluarga" or "family space".

A lot of our culture, words, the way we eat... Think bobotie, atjar, chutney mild curries al come from the malay and indonesians we grew up with on the farms. Katjiepiering is an indonesian word.

There’s also lots of SA words compliled from separate Dutch words that became new words in Sa.

The word bromponie means scooter Hijsbakkie is compiled from the Duch verb “hijsen” which means to hike up or to hoist and “bakje” which means small container. Hijsbakkie means elevator. Snijdokter is compiled from the Dutch verb “snijden” which means to cut and dokter is self explanatory. Snijdokter means surgeon. Amperbroekie is compiled from the Duch word “amper” which means barely and “broekje” which means small pants. Amperbroekie means string or thong underpants. Bababroeikas is compiled from the Dutch word “baby” for baby and “broeikas” which means greenhouse. Bababroeikas means incubator.

I have German heritage. I know some High (or Standard) German, and the majority of my family speaks Low German as well. Plautdietsch, as we call it, seems to me to be a strange mix of German and Dutch, so if I read or hear Dutch, I can usually understand a few words. I understood Philip's sentence, too, so apparently Afrikaans wouldn't be too hard for me, either, if I really tried to learn it.

@xXTheoLinuxXx 3 года назад

corinna007, I'm Dutch and I'm living next to the German border. I speak a dialect (Lower Saxon) and that is close related to Low German, and I can assure you that it is a mix of German/Dutch. Afrikaans isn't that difficult, if you understand some Dutch or Lower German. The grammar of Afrikaans is different and much easier than Dutch or German.
