Afrikaans
Afrikaans (, ) is a West Germanic language that evolved in the Dutch Cape Colony from the Dutch vernacular of Holland proper (i.e., the Hollandic dialect) used by Dutch, French, and German settlers and their enslaved people. Afrikaans gradually began to develop distinguishing characteristics during the course of the 18th century. Now spoken in South Africa, Namibia and (to a lesser extent) Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, estimates circa 2010 of the total number of Afrikaans speakers range between 15 and 23 million. Most linguists consider Afrikaans to be a partly creole language.

State Of Goshen
Goshen, officially known as the State of Goshen (), was a short-lived Boer republic in southern Africa founded by Boers expanding west from Transvaal who opposed British advance in the region. Located in Tswana territory west of the Transvaal, Goshen existed as an independent nation for a short period; from 1882 to 1883 as the State of Goshen and, after unification with neighbouring Stellaland, as the United States of Stellaland ( Dutch: ''Verenigde Staten van Stellaland'') from 1883 to 1885. During its history, Goshen, though small in size, became a focal point of conflict between the British Empire and the South African Republic, the two major players vying over the territory. After a series of claims and annexations, British fears of Boer expansionism ultimately led to its demise and, among other factors, set the stage for the Second Boer War of 1899–1902. History Before the proclamation of Goshen, the land was under the control of competing Griqua and Tswana group ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
