The basic language spoken in South Africa is Afrikaans and English. Afrikaans is a young language. Dutch immigrants to South Africa during the end of the 17th century brought the Dutch language to that part of the world. Limited contacts with the Netherlands, but far more extensive contacts with other European languages, notably English, led to a development of a language of its own. This new language also picked up elements from the native languages as well as from Malay (spoken by the Malayans brought there by the Dutch). Since the end of the 19th century, Afrikaans is recognized as a language different from Dutch.
