Afrikaans, Pidgen

Afrikaans is primarily spoken in South Africa and Namibia, though it is also spoken by minority communities in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Lesotho, and Swaziland. Due to emigration, sizable expat communities of speakers also live in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.Crucially,
Afrikaans is not a pidgin language; it is a fully formed, independent language with millions of native speakers. While its historical development involved intense contact with various pidgins and creoles at the Cape Colony, linguists categorize it as a semi-creolized daughter language of Dutch rather than a true pidgin or creole.
