This question could offend some people who would immediately ask: Why shouldn't it be? Afrikaans is one of the eleven official languages of South Africa and is spoken by millions, if not as their mother tongue, then as a second language. In fact only isiZulu and isiXhosa have more people who use it as their first language. English, which is also an official language, is only number six on the list.
