Afrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia;[1][2][3][4][5] it is a separate standard language rather than a national variety, unlike Netherlands Dutch, Belgian Dutch and Surinamese Dutch.[6][7] An estimated 90 to 95% of Afrikaans vocabulary is ultimately of Dutch origin,[8][9][10] so there are few lexical differences between the two languages,[11] however Afrikaans has considerably more regular morphology,[7] grammar, and spelling.[12]
