Afrikaans is one such language. I have a rather large Afrikaans Computer Term dictionary covering every computer topic I could think of. There are also a few Universities in South Africa that teach computer science in Afrikaans - text books and all. I have such textbooks for Modula2 and Pascal. So yes, Afrikaans has 100% native terms for the computer related subjects, and so too it has native names science, biology (eg: plant names) etc. I'm teaching my 3 year old son Afrikaans now, and it is amazing how damn confusing the English language is. Afrikaans is a much better defined language compared to English. You also don't have the same Afrikaans word that means two different things like you often find in English (or two words that sound exactly the same but spelled differently). -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
