Afrikaans in the United States
Who speaks Afrikaans, and where they turn up.
Afrikaans is a West Germanic language that evolved from 17th-century Dutch settlers in southern Africa. It is one of South Africa's 11 official languages and is also spoken in Namibia.
U.S. demand comes from South African professionals in medical, engineering and agricultural fields and from investment / cross-border business with Johannesburg and Cape Town.
