The development of a language can be a very boring topic, but sometimes it can also be exciting. While I was never interested in the development of the English language, I often liked to learn some facts about the development of the German language (maybe since it's my native language). It's nice to see that German has influenced such a young language. Maybe I'd even be able to understand some Afrikaans and maybe it's even worth a try to learn it.
