Arabic Afrikaans

Arabic Afrikaans (Afrikaans: Arabies Afrikaans, Arabic Afrikaans: عربس افركانس) or Lisan-e-Afrikaans (Arabic Afrikaans: لسانِ افرکانس) is a form of Afrikaans written in the Perso-Arabic script. It began in the 1830s in the madrasa in Cape Town, South Africa. Beside a 16th-century manuscript in the German language written with Arabic script, it is the only Germanic language known to have been written in the Perso-Arabic script. Arabic Afrikaans is not a mixed language.
