由于进口奴隶、土著科伊科伊人和好望角欧洲殖民者的互动，南非荷兰语从荷兰语发展成为一种独特的语言。英语于 1806 年成为开普殖民地的官方语言，同时威胁着 1652 年至 1795 年间的官方语言荷兰语和南非荷兰语。荷兰或南非荷兰语殖民者在南非的分散、南非战争（1899-1902）引发的南非荷兰语民族主义的兴起，以及二十世纪初几十年南非荷兰语普遍贫困，为南非荷兰语作为公共语言的迅速发展创造了条件。它是世界上仅有的四种在二十世纪标准化并用于公共和私人生活各行各业（包括研究生教学）的语言之一。 1994 年，南非向包容性民主国家转型，使南非荷兰语摆脱了种族隔离的束缚，但也使其成为十一种官方语言之一。因此，它作为公共语言的未来还远未确定。
Afrikaans developed from Dutch into a distinct language as a result of the interaction of imported slaves, indigenous Khoikhoi and European colonists at the Cape of Good Hope. English, which became the official language in 1806 in the Cape Colony, threatened both Dutch, the official language between 1652 and 1795, and Afrikaans. The dispersal of the Dutch or Afrikaner colonists across South Africa, the rise of Afrikaner nationalism triggered by the South African War (1899–1902), and widespread Afrikaner poverty in the early decades of the twentieth century created the conditions for the rapid growth of Afrikaans as public language. It is one of only four languages in the world that in the course of the twentieth century was standardized and used in all walks of public and private life, including postgraduate teaching. The transition of South Africa to an inclusive democracy in 1994 freed Afrikaans from its apartheid shackles but also made it only one of eleven official languages. As a result its future as a public language is far from secure.
