Dear Lowlanders,

today I got this question as a reaction on my website
(http://streektaal.cjb.net):

> City: Stilfontein, Suid Afrika
>
> Message: Kan u vir my laat weet of dit korrek is dat die Hugenote, wat
> hier na Suid Afrika gevlug het, wel Nederlandsprekend en nie
> Franssprekend was nie.  Ek het tydens my studies aan die
> Universiteit van Suid Afrika dit iewers gelees
> maar kon dit nog nooit bevestig kry nie.
>
> Ek vertrou u kan my help.

Does anyone know more about this subject? I always thought they were
French Calvinists, but I know nothing of Hugenots who fleed to South
Africa.

Kind regards,
Mathieu
