    Afrikaans, but find that it is easier to type in english since you end up with so much slang when using afrikaans that you are not doing the language any favours. Any technical litrature (and maybe even to some extend aquariums) is just so much easier in english. I'm in IT (now who would've guesed) and I type a mail to all afrikaans speaking people in english. If you start talking about "bedieners" and "rugsteun" etc. most IT people will not have any idea what you're on about.
