It also incorporated words from the Khoi Khoi, San and east Indie people who were brought to the Cape as slaves. First Language Afrikaans speakers are required to read one Dutch book in their final year of high school, and Afrikaans musicians release records in the Netherlands. Afrikaans is actually very similar to Flemmish (spoken in parts of Belgium).
