Afrikaans originated from Dutch and is similar in grammar and vocabulary. It developed when Dutch settlers in South Africa incorporated languages from slaves, sailors, and other travelers who passed through. Over many years of mixing, Afrikaans emerged as a distinct language spoken mainly in South Africa. Afrikaans has influences from other indigenous African languages and features like a single definite and indefinite article as well as nine verb tenses.
