>> Of is Boers net die meervoud van Boer in Engels?
Ja, Boers is die meervoud van Boer in Engels ('The Boors waved their
flags).  Boer ('Flags of the Boer War') is het bijvoeglijk naamwoord.

Groetjes,

Pat
(who hopes that is all grammatical ... what I meant to say was, yes,
Boers is the plural of Boer, and Boer is the adjective)
