Afrikaans culture is massively different from Dutch, and we have been influenced by so many other people. At this point saying that we are Dutch descendants is just plain wrong.

Can say that we have a large Dutch ancestry, among a few others. In the same way that a daschund has wolf ancestry

Boet, nobody speaks english in Brits. And when they do it still sounds like afrikaans.
