Hi all,

Of course we remember you Georg! Servus!

You're saying about the University of Bristol real language
acquisition courses:

>Actually, along this definition out of the Lowlands' languages
>I think only English, Dutch and eventually Afrikaans would
>be excluded from this definition of dialect.

What irony that Afrikaans language studies are to be promoted
in the UK! Just as well as I suspect that in 50 years time, Afrikaans
will be used outside of the economic and government spheres in
South Africa. Unless, of course, our demographic character
alters dramatically.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser
