The ''Cape'', officially the ''Cape State'', is a country in southern Africa. | The '''Cape''', officially the '''Cape State''', is a country in southern Africa. It has a population of over 15 million people, 13 million of which speak(natively or otherwise) one of the official languages and ''lingua franca'' of the nation, [[Cápa]], which is a creole language that developed from Portuguese, Dutch and English as well as the East Bantu languages of Zulu and Xhosa. Additionally, [[Boer]], a [[w:Patois|patois]] of Dutch turned language(much like [[w:Afrikaans language|Afrikaans]] in OTL), is also an official language, although this is largely a ceremonial law, as very few speakers of the language remain in the country(with the vast majority of Boer speakers living in the neighbouring nation of [[Verse:Orange-Transvaal|Orange-Transvaal]], where it is the official language and ''lingua franca''). | ||
