'''Cápa''', also known as | '''Cápa''', also known as '''Kabo''', '''isiKapa''' and/or '''Cape Creole'''(''isiKápa''; <small>Cápa:</small> [[Help:IPA|[isi.kʰɐ́pɐ]]]), is an Afrikaans-Portuguese-English-Zulu-Xhosa [[w:Creole language|creole]] language spoken in the area between the [[w:Orange River|Orange River]] and the south African coast, commonly known as the '''Cape of Good Hope'''(''cabo da boa esperança'' in [[w:Portuguese language|Portuguese]]). The morphology is a mixture of primarily Portuguese and Dutch(later Afrikaans), whereas the grammar is heavily influenced by Zulu and Xhosa and the East Bantu language family as a whole. | ||
The creole developed through the various colonisers of the South African region, and indeed, the language borrows elements from all the colonisers' languages(English, Dutch(Afrikaans), Portuguese) as well as native indigenous African languages in the area(Zulu, Xhosa). | The creole developed through the various colonisers of the South African region, and indeed, the language borrows elements from all the colonisers' languages(English, Dutch(Afrikaans), Portuguese) as well as native indigenous African languages in the area(Zulu, Xhosa). | ||
