Cape Town, certainly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I would say the best but I know you will disagree with me, if you are firstly a course Townian or elsewhere, one of South Africa.
Cape Town is a trilingual city that you will find that some people can speak up to seven or eight official languages of South Africa. This beautiful country has won eleven languages official languages. (We certainly have the most inclusive constitution. This is not always a good thing but I will not discuss it here.)
The three main languages we speak in Cape Town are Afrikaans, English and Xhosa. Afrikaans is by far the language dominant in Cape Town, but people tend to speak more English when outside there homes. So we could say that Afrikaans is the language home most people with the second in English.
The reason why the three languages are different groups that Cape Town is composed of. To speak of what I have to consult the race number and a little bit of history. I know people, is particularly South Africa does not simply want to discuss the issue of race because of our history.
Cape Town is composed of three main groups; "mestizos, whites and blacks." The "black" group known as Xhosa. This group has always been part of South Africa and Africa as a continent. As they are a minority, as most live Xhosa in the Eastern Cape. Cape Town is located in the Western Cape. You might find that many of them understand Afrikaans and can even speak of apartheid, but because he refuses to speak and even pretended not to know at all. During the apartheid years all groups were forced to speak and were being taught in Afrikaans. Their language has been ignored.
The group of the environment are just called whites. This group is descended from Europe (Netherlands, Germany, France and England). According to the story whites "first" landed in South Africa including Cape Town in 1652 under the direction of Jan Van Riebeeck. They were Dutch and other countries will follow later.
With this different groups from Malaysians as their slaves.
Imagine the melting pot of languages that have been made in South Africa. People could not understand each other and a new language had to come to some so out of it. The Malays, like slaves, were the first to speak Afrikaans. A large piece of Afrikaans was taken from Dutch. The "white" pretend thereafter as the Afrikaans language.
People start sexually to "mix" in secret of course. "Black" and "Whites", Malaysians and "black"; Malaysians and "white"; out of this mix was born the group that people referred to "mixed".
The "mestizos" and "whites" adopted Afrikaans as their main language. Population wise the "color" group became the dominant group in the provinces Western and Northern Cape. (This is the group targeted by politicians in the Western Cape and especially in Cape Town for obvious reasons. Political parties are currently campaigning for the elections in April this year and the "color" group, did nothing surprisingly, the elector concerned.)
The apartheid or segregation for those who do not know what it is directed separate suburbs with her. People in countries like the United States of America do not know what I mean.
English is the common language or in-betwen but some people have made their original language. English is the language of business and some people speak, because it makes them feel "superior." (Personally, I think it's because of the legacy of apartheid. The so-called Afrikaans group and some hated black people, the "mestizos", to be precise, did not join in Afrikaans. ) However, Afrikaans is still the dominant language in Cape Town.
Cape Town, a western city of culture is steeped in Malaysia and the Xhosa culture. This makes it an interesting city to live in. People are friendly, warm and friendly. The rest of South Africa Cape Town, the coating application City, because we are never in a hurry. The business people can be frustrated our rhythm. Vacationers love Cape Town.
With its superb beaches, mountains, vineyards and friendly people you do can not help loving this place. What can be is miserable, the winter rains and occasionally, when the south-west of us breathe.
Cap City is nestled at the foot of Africa where the Indian and Atlantic oceans between them. In winter, you do not stay away beaches on the Atlantic coast because the water is very cold, but some of our most beautiful beaches on this side. I speak Camps Bay, Blaauwberg and Clifton, with Clifton and Llandudno that the playgrounds of the rich.
The Warmer waters are on the east side, near the Indian Ocean. Four of South Africa 's largest cities are on this side. They are Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and Durban as one of the cities most popular holiday ().
