Afrikaans and English, though belonging to the Germanic language family, have distinct characteristics and fascinating intersections. Afrikaans is primarily spoken in South Africa and Namibia, having evolved from 17th-century Dutch with influences from Malay, Portuguese, and indigenous African languages, while English, now a global lingua franca, has Old English and Norman French roots.
