Talk:Afrikaaner
Should this be merged with Afrikaner? -- Mkmcconn 16:51 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)
probably the other way around...Afrikaan is the correct spelling i believe Lir 16:52 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)
Afrikaans is the language. Afrikaner is an adjective or noun. Afrikander is a noun, synonomous with Afrikaner. If you look it up on Google as Afrikaaner, and it will suggest that you look up Afrikaner, instead (although, common use seems to have no problem with the alternative spelling, and even Afrikaners (mis?-)spell the word, either "Afrikaner" or "Afrikaaner"). The dictionaries prefer "Afrikaner", and older ones prefer "Afrikander". -- Mkmcconn
Yeah, they ought to be merged.. and since 'afrikaner' seems to be much more common than 'afrikaaner' based on Google, I suggest that one ought to get the main entry.. kwertii
