    About the Afrikaans Language

    Afrikaans is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa, Namibia and, to a lesser extent, Botswana and Zimbabwe. It evolved from the Dutch vernacular of South Holland (Hollandic dialect) spoken by the mainly Dutch settlers of what is now South Africa, where it gradually began to develop distinguishing characteristics in the course of the 18th century. Hence, it is a daughter language of Dutch, and was previously referred to as "Cape Dutch" (a term also used to refer collectively to the early Cape settlers) or "kitchen Dutch" (a derogatory term used to refer to Afrikaans in its earlier days). However, it is also variously described as a creole or as a partially creolised language. The term is ultimately derived from Dutch Afrikaans-Hollands meaning "African Dutch". It is the first language of most of the Afrikaners and Coloureds of Southern Africa.

    Although Afrikaans has adopted words from other languages, including German and the Khoisan languages, an estimated 90 to 95% of the vocabulary of Afrikaans is of Dutch origin. Therefore, differences with Dutch often lie in the more analytic morphology and grammar of Afrikaans, and a spelling that expresses Afrikaans pronunciation rather than standard Dutch.

    Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. Flat-bottomed punts glide on the Avon River, which meanders through the city centre. On its banks are cycling paths, the green expanse of Hagley Park and Christchurch Botanic Gardens. In 2010 and 2011, earthquakes destroyed many of the historic centre's stone-built buildings.

    Certified Afrikaans translation of the following types of documents are usually prepared by Afrikaans NAATI translators:

    Afrikaans Translation for Christchurch

    Afrikaans has relatively little dialectal variation compared to many languages, though distinctions exist between Cape Afrikaans, Orange River Afrikaans, and East Cape Afrikaans. These regional differences are mostly phonological and rarely affect written documents. However, informal Afrikaans incorporates significantly more English and Malay loanwords than the formal written standard used in legal and civil documents.

    Afrikaans Document Types

    Key South African civil documents in Afrikaans include the geboortesertifikaat (birth certificate), huweliksertifikaat (marriage certificate), and bestuurderslisensie (driving licence). These are issued by the Department of Home Affairs (Departement van Binnelandse Sake) and traffic departments respectively.

    Afrikaans is one of eleven official languages of South Africa, where it remains widely used in government, education, and legal proceedings, particularly in the Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces. It is also recognised as a national language in Namibia, where it serves as a lingua franca despite not holding official status. Documents from both countries may appear in Afrikaans, though South African documents increasingly feature multilingual formatting.
