"Seamlessly intertwining linguistic analysis with heartfelt personal narratives, the author sheds light on the interplay between the Cape Malay heritage and the vibrant tapestry of language, highlighting how it has served as a vessel of resilience, and the preservation of identity ... The fascinating exploration of early Arabic-Afrikaans variants unveils a remarkable discovery - a precursor to the Cape Afrikaans we know today" Dr Shamiega Chaudhari, Head of the Department of Afrikaans, University of Fort Hare
