What language did Rhodesians speak?
English
> *Rhodesians, specifically the White population, spoke a dialect of English known as Rhodesian English or Zimbabwean English. This dialect was influenced by Afrikaans and Bantu languages, particularly Shona and Ndebele. The language was distinct from British English and South African English.*
I had to look it up. I'd heard them speak in a video where they were preparing to hunt nigger thieves who had stolen a calf or something. I thought it was Dutch since I could only understand about 25% of it.
Interestingly enough, I can speak to a Dutch person I know who doesn't speak English, so long as I keep my statements short and if he doesn't understand, I just use different words. He does the same. Plus we use some hand gestures. It's weird but it mostly works.
Also have a distant relative who speaks German and French with limited English, but as long as he's drunk he's almost fluent in English. When he is sober I have no fucking clue what he is saying most of the time.

Not surprising. Probably have even better results with someone who spoke Frisian.
English derived from Frisian, which derived from Dutch, which derived from German. I forget off the top of my head where German derived from, but it's not that important.

Idk, it's been around a long time. Probably around the time the tower of Babel was being built.
