Need someone who can help me in Dutch.

From down South on the African Continent basically Afrikaans originated from the Dutch, French and German setlers that came to the shores from the 1600's. They then seperated in 1852 and moved away from the British Control Cape Colony and in a space of 65years Afrikaans developed rapidly into the language it is today.

A lot of similarities exists, but the strongest influance is still the Dutch part.
