Hi all,

Ron, I want to clarify that Tsotsitaal and Vlaaitaal (Flytaal) are
urban-based creoles (interspersed with Sotho, Xhosa and Zulu) and Oorlams is
a rural-based creole mostly found in the Northern Cape and Namibia,
interspersed with Nama.

Incidentally, the adjective 'oorlams' means to be cheeky, excited,
insolent.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser

  Mike Morgan: ...they are (drumroll please!): Nederlands (Dutch), Frysk
(West
Frisian), Scots (making it FIVE if you count Lallans AND Ullans)
separately and Afrikaans  ... OH, and (sorry Sandy!) I almost forgot:
BSL is also on the definitely to-go-with shelf (and NOT only due to
its input on Indian Sign Language!)
Ron Hahn: Afrikaans-based: Tsotsitaal, Oorlams (Vlaaitaal)
