A Brief History Of English South Africa

South African English (SAfrE, SAfrEng, SAE, en-ZA) is the set of English dialects spoken by South Africans. There is huge social and regional variation within South African English. Three variants (termed “The Great Trichotomy” by Roger Lass) are commonly identified within White South African English (as in Australian English), spoken primarily by White South Africans: “Cultivated”, closely approximating England’s standard Received Pronunciation and associated with the upper class; “General”, a social indicator of the middle class; and “Broad”, associated with the working class, and closely approximating the second-language Afrikaner variety called Afrikaans English. At least two sociolinguistic variants have been definitively studied on a post-creole continuum for the second-language Black South African English spoken by most Black South Africans: a high-end, presitigious “acrolect” and a more middle-ranging, mainstream “mesolect.” Other varieties of South African English include Cape Flats English, originally associated with inner-city Cape Coloured speakers, and the Indian South African English of Indian South Africans. Further offshoots include the first-language English varieties spoken by Zimbabweans, Zambians, Swazilanders and Namibians.

Like English in southern England, such as London, South African English is non-rhotic (except for some Afrikaans-influenced speakers, see below) and features the trap–bath split.

The two main phonological indicators of South African English are the behaviour of the vowels in kit and bath. The kit vowel tends to be “split” so that there is a clear allophonic variation between the close, front [ɪ] and a somewhat more central [ɪ̈]. The bath vowel is characteristically open and back in the General and Broad varieties of SAE. The tendency to monophthongise both /aʊ/ and /aɪ/ to [ɑː] and [aː] respectively, are also typical features of General and Broad SAE.[citation needed]

Features involving consonants include the tendency for voiceless plosives to be unaspirated in stressed word-initial environments, [tj] tune and [dj] dune tend to be realised as [tʃ] and [dʒ] respectively (See Yod coalescence), and /h/ has a strong tendency to be voiced initially.

There are words that do not exist in British or American English, usually derived from languages of Africa such as Afrikaans or Zulu, although, particularly in Durban, there is also an influence from Indian languages and slang developed by subcultures, particularly surfers. Terms in common with North American English include ‘mom’ (most British and Australian English: mum) ‘freeway’ or ‘highway’ (British English ‘motorway’), ‘cellphone’ (British and Australian English: mobile) and ‘buck’ meaning money (rand, in this case, and not a dollar).

One of the most noticeable traits of South African English-speakers is the strong tendency to use the Afrikaans ‘ja’ [=’yes’] in any situation where other English-speakers would say ‘yes’, ‘yeah’ or ‘Well, …’. The parallel is extended to the expression ‘ja-nee’ [literally, ‘yes-no’; indicating a partial agreement or acknowledgement of a point] which becomes ‘Ja, no, …’. Such usage is widely acceptable, although it is understood to be incorrect English and would not be used in strictly formal contexts, such as in court or in a job interview.

South Africans are also known for their irregular use of the word ‘now’. Particularly, ‘just now’ is taken to mean ‘in a while’ or ‘later’ (up to a few hours’ time) rather than ‘this very minute’, for which a South African would say ‘right now’. ‘Now now’ is relatively more immediate, implying a delay of a few minutes to around half an hour. The word ‘just’ also has a looser meaning than in British English when applied to location; expressions such as ‘just there’, or ‘just around the corner’ are not taken to imply a precise point.

Some words peculiar to South African English include ‘takkies’, ‘tackie’ or ‘tekkie’ for sneakers (American) or trainers (British), ‘combi’ or ‘kombi’ for a small van similar to a Volkswagen Kombi, ‘bakkie’ for a pick-up truck, ‘kiff’ for pleasurable, ‘lekker’ for nice, ‘donga’ for gully, ‘robot’ for a traffic light, ‘dagga’ for cannabis, ‘braai’ for barbecue and ‘jol’ for party. South Africans generally refer to the different codes of football, such as soccer and rugby, by those names. There is some difference between South African English dialects: in Johannesburg the local form is very strongly English-based, while its Eastern Cape counterpart has a strong Afrikaans influence. Although differences between the two are sizeable, there are many similarities.

Several South African words, usually from Afrikaans or other indigenous languages of the region, have entered world English: those relating to human activity include apartheid; commando and trek and those relating to indigenous flora and fauna include veld; vlei; spoor; aardvark; impala; mamba; boomslang; meerkat and wildebeest. Recent films such as District 9 have also brought South African and Southern African English to a global audience, as have television personalities like Austin Stevens.

Large numbers of the British diaspora and other South African English speakers now live in Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and some Persian Gulf states and may have influenced their host community’s dialects to some degree. South African English and its slang also has a substantial presence in neighbouring countries like Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia. English accents vary considerably depending on region and local ethnic influences.
