    If people think Dutch is bad, they should look at some Afrikaans words. It can get a lot worse lol

    A giraffe is called a kameelperd, (camel-horse), a stapler is called a Papiervampier (paper vampire) as some kind of funny slang, a hippopotamus, which live in freshwater is a seekoei (sea cow), if something is flat is "pap", etc

      Afrikaans is funny though. It's like Dutch but somehow worse, and even weirder phonemes.

        Because it basically is. The Huguenots, which became the Afrikaners, are a mix of Europeans from the Netherlands, Germany and France for the most part. It's why so many Afrikaners have French or German sounding surnames.
