Corli, she's also a Saffie.Haha, Linda, Anna, Sam, Joanna... do we have any more girls regular like on here?
Sounds more like an African name to me but just speculating reallyCorli's a girl? Never knew that...
(If that's an Afrikaans name please forgive me )
Yes I do know that. I was pointing out that it sounds more like an African language, e.g ZuluAfrikaans = language
Well yeah but it's the Dutch derived language as spoken mainly by the white South Africans...I think you know what I mean.Haha, Afrikaans is an African language too, y'know.
Of course there's a difference oh argumentative oneIt might be Dutch-derived, but it's still been spoken in Africa for centuries... so it's not really much different to Nguni or Sotho.
But that's the obvious difference that you seem to prefer to ignore. Not sure why, unless you think it's racist somehow which is a bit ridiculous tbhWhat? The colour of the skin of those who most typically speak them?
That's the only difference I can see, and personally I don't tend to take the blindest bit of notice of the colour of someone's skin.
*sighs*...okI prefer to take absolutely no notice of anything relating to colour of skin... the only way racism will ever be completely eradicated is if people just don't even notice that.
Afrikaans, Nguni, Sotho, Zulu... I just don't see the point in calling any of them more "African" than another. They're all spoken in Africa and have been for centuries. If you go back far enough it's possible to say virtually nothing is any more "native" than anything else.
Anyway... I'm not keen on discussing this on CW TBH, given that last time I somehow accused someone of racial stereotypes.
It hasn't really been spoken for centuries...It might be Dutch-derived, but it's still been spoken in Africa for centuries... so it's not really much different to Nguni or Sotho.
