I don't even know if it's Dutch, Afrikaans, or gibberish. It might as well be all three at once.

There isn't a difference, really. They're mutually intelligible.

Adding /j to my comment, just in case

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well, the difference is the fact that everyone agrees that they're different languages. It's not like comparing English to Scots (is it just a weird dialect of English? Or is it distinct enough to be its own language?), or comparing all the different dialects/languages/[idfk anymore] of Serbo-Croatian to each other, especially if they're all written in the Latin script (in Serbia, you have the option of using the Cyrillic script, but not everyone does it anyway).

I was joking about them being mutually intelligible to gibberish. Maybe I should've prefaced this with “As a native Dutch speaker myself, ”

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sorry for misunderstanding you.

No worries, glad everything's cleared up!
