In het moderne Nederlands zou dat zijn: "Alles zal terecht komen mits
iedereen zijn plicht doet", maar misschien komt die uitdrukking uit
zeventiende eeuwse bijbeltaal of zo? Het eerste deel "alles sal reg kom"
is geen Nederlands, <reg> in plaats van <recht> en <kom> ipv <komen>, en
ook <sal> ipv <zal> is typisch Afrikaans, toch?

In elk geval, Nederlanders kennen alleen het eerste stukje, dus "alles sal
reg kom" en dat betekent gewoon "everything is gonna be alright", en zijn
ervan overtuigd dat het Afrikaans is.

I suspect that this subject has been brought up previously in this list, but
since I am a neophyte, I missed out on it! Is it, in fact, true that Dutch
and Afrikaans speakers no longer share much mutual intelligibility regarding
their respective spoken languages? I once read an article about an
Afrikaans-speaking South African swimming team that went to the Netherlands
for a swim meet. The article explained that the South Africans and the Dutch
swimming team against which they were competing ended up using English as
their lingua franca due to the difficulty in understanding each other's
spoken language. I find the whole thing quite interesting! Any comments
would be much appreciated.

Baie dankie en dank u wel!

Groete(n)

Steve
