Dying Language of The Bo-Kaap People
Speaking a mix of 5 and more, different languages they created a rich language of their own
The Bo-Kaap Muslims were exposed to various languages from Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Netherlands, Britain, Arabia, Portuguese, Zanzibar, and many others. The State restrictions on education for non-Europeans, deprived Muslims from gaining access to one sophisticated language skill. They were also prevented from Christian missionary schools - the only schools of the early 19th century. The cosmopolitan life of the Cape thus became their "centre of learning". They did not lie down and dissipate. They were vibrant and created their own schools, language, writing style and gave rise to Afrikaans. While doing this they established themselves as exquisite artisans, dressmakers and cooks, whom the statesmen and women of the time could not do without. Their Islamic faith of cleanliness and openness to invite others to share their food, made many become Muslim or love them so much that Muslims enjoyed preference from the state departments - so much so that when Apartheid was established in South Africa, the Ruling National Party made a further "apartheid" law that Bo-Kaap should exclusively be for Muslims, because they had to come to the Muslim Tailors and dressmakers to fit on the clothes as it was made. They then thought that to keep the place safe for them, it would be wise to declare it a Malay Quarter where no bottle stores and Christian wine drinkers can mix, which would endanger their safety - this was God's Way of ensuring that the Islamic Faith and Muslims are protected - by the actual enemy. This allowed Muslims to grow and establish themselves uniquely as an outstanding group of people who has unique schools, skills, language, cultural practices and architecture. It is hoped that this dictionary of words of the old Muslim Bo-Kaap language (Kaaps) will allow readers to enjoy the richness of the atmosphere that prevailed in Bo-Kaap, up until the 1970's.
I sincerely thank all the people who have been so kind to share their knowledge of the words and phrases that they still remember that could be added to my list below.
The following words and phrases were often used by the people of the Bo-kaap. Its sound-structure resembles that of Arabic, not English when using 'o' and 'a'. You have to read the sounds with an Arabic-Afrikaans(Kaaps) accent if you want to enjoy it. The Afrikaans "kappie" and "deelteken" is not on my computer. Please add it on when you are able to, to ensure a close pronunciation. There are some words that were used that might look crude, but they were used with sense of endearment or fun. I hope you will enjoy this compilation. Add more if you can, in the comments below. It must be borne in mind that Muslims and non-Muslims who were in contact with the Bo-Kaap used many of these words and phrases and some are still used by the offspring. The newer generations in Bo-Kaap now generally speak English. It has thus become important to document some of the lost treasures of such a vibrant, skillful community of Bo-Kaap.
