Bo-Kaaps

 786
STANDARDIZED AFRIKAANS is kombuis Dutch. The Cape Muslim's *Bo-Kaaps Language* Is the creative integration of Arabic, Indonesian, Malayu, Dutch, Java, English, Xhosa and other languages as well as some deep meaning creative words and phrases, which was not understood and still not understood by colonists and their decendants. It created a resistance against complete westernization, because the Old Cape Muslims did not read the colonial LANGUAGE, and refused to send their children to colonial schools. The Cape Muslims could thus secure their faith and their spirituality and bring  decency, craftsmanship, morality, patience and sobriety to the Cape.  The colonists respected, feared them and gained from them, thus Muslims were, by Allah's Plan always protected. The Cape Muslim came as free citizens, not slaves, and were always asked to build the Cape on offer of land and work. The term Arab-Afrikaans, because it was written in Arabic script by imaams, is misleading, because Bo Kaaps is distinctly different to standardized Afrikaans, the Boers speak. The warmth of Bo-Kaaps, the language of colonial resistance, has become attractive  to Afrikaaners, whose standardized, creole Dutch language, is dying now after the fall of Apartheid. When Afrikaans is removed from schools it will die. Bo-Kaaps is also fading as a language, as internet is dominating social media.

"Bo-Kaaps"The Language of Colonial Resistance

 The Bo-Kaaps the Cape Muslims speak has stood the test of time and the Afrikaaners, whose language is dying now wants to speak like the Cape Muslims, because Bo-Kaaps as a langyage is warm, creative, spiritual, communal, has a sense of humour and a tongue in cheek kind of critical comment, within its nuance. Bo-Kaaps is heavily influenced by the Arabic grammatical sounds and structures. Bo-Kaaps like Arabic focuses on fluency , and hence will drop root letters, inter-change sounds of a word with others to ease pronunciation and shorten words to accelerate fluency and practmatism. Bo-Kaap is rich in integrating cultural words of various nations to give creativity and speed to heir communication skills. Bo-kaaps is also very welcoming in its word and sentence formations and allows other nations to want to imitate the Cape Muslim, who is on top of their language, very friendly people,The colonists could not penetrate their culture with their English language tricks, becaise the Bo-Kaap people simply refused their education.and instead taught their chuldren craftsmanship and islamic Faith, which supports courtesy, creativity and originality. This allowed the Cape Muslims to be highly respected and cause many Eurpeans to become Muslim. Bo-kaaps became the bastion against assimilation with the colonists. The Cape Muslims could then create their own economic system and language  which allowed them to dominate the trademanship. This is remarkable, because the colonists had to submit to the Muslim craftsmanship for the needs, venthough the Muslims did not speak their language, and had no certification from the white oppressors, The Cape Muslim power in the buidling trade can up till today be felt. Alghamdu lillaah.
